I have just found out I was unsuccessful and have requested my individual marks. Good luck to everyone else!
Oh, really sorry to hear the rejections, gutting for you :-( its just the worst email (or snail mail in my case) to get! SocDave I hope the job works out for you, I know its a massive cliche and of little help at this point but I'm a firm believer in things working out for the best xx Have you checked with your respective depts whether there might be any form of funding available - I was funded for the MA but rejected on the PhD despite being top ranked (which is possibly more gutting than finding that they just don't like your proposal!) but when I told the dept (in floods of tears - it was a bad day) within a few hours they'd held an emergency meeting with the HoD, my sup, the grad dir and I'd been offered a second scholarship (I'd been offered one that would pay my fees prior to the results coming back from the research council) that didn't bring in anything like the maintainence grant a fully funded position would, but meant that I could carry on and survive (kind of). There are sometimes funds floating about that can be allocated to students so it might be worth touching base and asking - hey, nothing to lose, don't ask, don't get!
On the other hand huge congrats Mixilgt - well done you :-) That's great news, I do hope that some of the others will also get similarly good news in the next day or so :-)
