Again, any asian news?
I am from Asia. I've noticed that a couple of guys from Asia, like China, Japan and Singapore, have got their offers, which made me reaaaaally anxious. I am not sure if all offers are given according to countries and areas.

Good morning everyone,
Best congratulations for all you have accepted.
I would like to ask here one thing, even though it is quite late to mention. I heard that it will be extremely hard to get in LLM especially when you have no working experiences, which apply to myself. However, purely based upon academic perspective, how much GPA will be considered to be enough?
I will appreciate your help. Cheers.
Many of us, myself included, have absolutely no work experience.
After all the LLM is an academic degree rather than a vocational course : )

Well doesn't look like acceptances are being sent out today. So much for my twice-a-week in-the-afternoon theory.

I have a question for anyone currently at Cambridge or in the know. The faculty's page is advertising for a new Downing Professor of the Laws of England. Is Prof. Sir Baker leaving??? For the prospective legal historian, this is akin to Bono leaving U2.

Oh no, say it isn't so - Prof Baker was one of the major reasons I applied to Cambridge!

That's so disappointing, I wonder what shape the legal history department will be in as a consequence

Any Kiwis out there received an offer?
I'm based in NZ and am yet to hear, but know of one NZ based person who received an offer last week. On that basis, I've pretty much given up hope..
Congratulations to all those who have received offers, and best of luck to those still waiting to hear.

Don't lose hope guys. Although it seems as they are proceeding by countries, they must have more than one round of offers. They probably will be making offers until the end of the month

I don't think that Cambridge cares if you have work experience or not. A fairly small minority of us are even qualified in our home countries. More than 3-4 years of work experience is extremely unusual, and many people have come either straight from undergrad or have done only a year of post-degree work.
As far as GPA, I'm not sure what country you are from. They typically prefer a first-class degree or equivalent (in US terms, an A- or 3.7 GPA), but I think there were some rumors earlier in this thread of people being admitted with 2:1s. I've not really discussed my classmates' grades with them, so I can't say how common it is for Cambridge to go below a First.

The news about Sir Prof J H Baker is very disappointing. I wonder who they will hire to attempt to fill his shoes. I suppose we'll get a timetable in the coming months, but I don't know if it will answer the question.
