Statuses on Cambridge Admissions Portal

[sammichaelgeorge]

Hello all- not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I figured that I would give it a shot.

 

I am an applicant to Cambridge's MPhil American History program. I initially applied in early october, and my online status said "awaiting review by department," or something along those lines. Now, my status says "under review by the degree committee." Does this mean anything? Are decisions typically rolling? Has anyone else who's applied for the American History program heard back yet?

All that means is the department is reviewing the application at the moment. The initial phrase/stage is meant to ensure that your documents are in order and do not need to resubmit any. Now your file has been given to the department and a decision will arrive in 6-8 weeks (typical timeframe for UK universities).
