King's College - AHRC

[Bando89]

Hello everyone, I'm writing to ask an opinion about this thing, which is probably null (but you know, anxiety).

I applied to a PhD in Philosophy at King's College, London and around February 10th I received a notification on the website that I had been unsuccessfull. It happens.

At the same time, when you apply for funding at King's, you have to do so via the Prism portal for AHRC funding. Here's the odd thing: my funding application is still going forward - after the refusal from King's they are 'assigning reviewers to it'. What's the sense of this? Why should they lose time reading a funding application for a program that has been closed to me?

I suppose it is simply a burocracy thing but seems strange nonetheless. If anyone has experiences with the Prism portal, I'm all ears.

Thanks!
