Another day gone uneventful?

Yup, still nothing!

I can't believe that they still haven't' made ANY offers (well, apart from one) yet!

Law lad.

In the same boat here!! I am getting really anxious!!!

No news here - my status still says 'Papers with Degree Committee'.

Same here. Well, at least February is almost 1/3 over.

I wrote yesterdat to Miss Wade and she replies today by saying that she doesnt know the exact date by which decisions will be made.

Apparently we will have to wait more :(

Regards,

cdp, are you facing a short deadline for your other offers?

I must respond the first week of April.

If we're 1/3 of the way through February, at what point do we stray from "early February" to "mid February" or "late February"?

After all, MikeLJ's contact was told to expect offers in early February and time seems to be running out... either we can expect some offers in the next few days, or the "early February" timetable could be out the window.

Perhaps they're messing with us, trying to see who'll be the "last one standing" on Camsis... :D

This is all pretty worrying...what could possibly be taking so long? I have a feeling that this Friday - before the weekend - would be it? Any bets? :P

I'm not worried yet, just frustrated. I'll only be worried when we reach April and everyone on here has an offer but me!

One of my referees today asked if I'd heard anything and was horrified when I said no. He obviously thought that, almost three months after he wrote me a reference, I ought to have heard something and that the fact that I hadn't was some kind of reflection on his reference.

A friend of mine who was taken last year, but declined her place at Cambridge to go to Columbia says we shouldn't worry too much. She said they were awfully lame at Cambridge (she only got her college place in June for example), but in the end they'll send the offers....
So cheer up!!

June is quite late to hear about colleges. If faced with 1 April (or earlier) deadlines for US universities and one has an offer from Oxbridge but not a place at the college, then wouldn't one be inclined to opt for the former? Or can they expedite your college application in such circumstances?

Does anyone know if everyone who gets an offer always gets placed at a college, even if it's not their top or second choice?

I should add that my status has not changed at all.

Hi Anneka,

Thanks for this. I read the instructions/FAQs such a long time ago, when I made my application, and subsequently forgot all the info contained in them..

It think, everybody gets a place in a college, they just put the information for the case "if".
Another friend of mine got accepted in Cambridge, but was then assigned to one of the females-only colleges, because she put two pretty popular colleges in her first choice (Trinity and ???). So in the end, she went to LSE, because she wouldn't spend a year among girls. That may also happen...
Maybe you should change your college choice into two less popular? They are assigned to three categories (A as the hardest to get into and C as not so popular), I put two colleges with a "B" in my choice
