If DS hasn't heard from Cambridge yet re Masters, that's bad, right?

They say that they make offers within 12 weeks of application deadline, which takes us to the end of Feb. So presumably they've made offers to the ones they want and aren't replying to the others yet, in case their first choices turn them down?

If anyone knows how this works, I'd be very grateful!

There's often quite a lag with Masters applications, and they tend to be a lower priority than undergrad admissions. We're at the height of our Admissions cycle, so I'd just counsel him to be patient.

At my place, we're still receiving Masters applications in August!

Yeah I wouldn’t worry about this. They just won’t have looked at his application yet.

Thanks both
