History And Philosophy Of Science Graduate School Admission Results

Timeline: Submitted with references: 1st Dec, Invite for Interview: 15th Jan, Interview: 21st Jan, GAO: 10th Jan, Offer: 1st Feb. Annoying waiting between GAO and offer. Interview was very general about statement of purpose. Still waiting on funding.

Had an unofficial Zoom meeting with DGS earlier this week. Received funding information this morning.

Applied (including references): 4th November Invite to interview (via e-mail): 30th November Interview: 3rd December GAO: 17th December (Degree Committee stage did not appear on portal) Academic Condition: First class honours

Accepted to MPhil, with discussions with supervisor about then potentially continuing into the PhD. Currently status is "Seeking College Membership." No word on funding as of yet.

To posters asking about AHRC funding (the OOCTP). I'm afraid that I managed to get in touch, after much perseverance, and have been informed that successful applicants have been notified. At the time, some two weeks ago, they told me that some additional awards would be made (basically in the event that people turned down the funding). If you have yet to hear about these, it's likely that you haven't made it. You also probably saw the grad admissions offer email yesterday, saying that over 300 scholarships had already been given. I think Cam Trust has given around half of these (see website), including the Cambridge International awards. They normally seem to give around 500 (you can good Cam Trust annual report to see stats). This means there will still be some more Cam Trust money given out. This will mainly be until the end of May. I don't know if there has been any delay in Cam Trust funding. It is certainly possible, but the email seemed to suggest that everything is on time.

Accepted after interview. Former MPhil student in the department. Has anyone heard about funding? (I have not).

1a/1w/3r out of 7

Rejected from most PhDs, accepted here.

E-mail to check portal.... I'd like to see them TRY to get an applicant with a lower quant score than mine
