TPB: To the post who got accept on 12 Feb, do you mind sharing a what kind of program you've applied, whether it was two years or one year program? Thx.

UK undergrad from Germany

Unexpected, and got rejected by IR Theory the same time. Best luck to all!

I have the "we are aware..." message. my gre is 166+ and passed check... btw the dept released some rejects a few days ago as far as I understand. am I correct?

TPB: thanks for the info. my status also changed to "we are aware that..." at the end of Jan. Since then it remains the same. Has any result come out yet?

TPB: FYI, my status has not been changed since then. I did not have the change other posters mentioned some time ago. I am still "Under consideration...".

So excited !! Undergrad is in economics so I was nervous about getting in.

Whilst it is not the policy of the School to give specific reasons for decisions, we offer the following to clarify matters. Decisions are contingent upon the availability of places, there are simply not enough places to give an offer to everybody with a first, upper second or equivalent. Many applicants, most of whom are extremely well qualified, are inevitably disappointed. Departments are looking for excellent references, a focussed personal statement and in some cases relevant work experience and good test results.

Well, I know I am not a good fit so that is reasonable...Good luck everyone

TPB: I submitted on Dec 12, and I am still “under consideration...”. I don’t know how to I interpret that. Thanks for the information!

I also noticed the change of status. "We are aware that your application...." I also submitted Dec 12.

TPB: I submitted my application on the 12 DEC 2019. Hoping it's just a default message... It seems that the department has started to release decisions pretty early this year.

Status at the LFY changed from "under consideration by department" to "We are aware that your application is currently still under consideration with the Department. We have contacted the Department to follow up the progress on your application. As soon as a decision is made, it will be displayed here. Thank you for your continued patience." Anyone experiencing the same?

I submitted the application on December 19th.
