TOLD YOU everything will be okay, congrats on the offer!!!!! :biggrin:

Does anyone know how long they take for the Msc finance offers? I guess if i hadn't heard back means I'm not rejected yet ! (its been over a month since I sent my application off so obviously thinking they forgot about me!):woo:


One months is really not that much. I have waited much longer for my offer (different programme though). No reason to worry yet.

Hi guys, I am an applicant of MSc Finance and Economics (1st choice) and MSc Economics (2nd choice) I used to stick around pretty much everyday when I was doing A-Levels but left TSR when I came to uni. Now I am back in the gd old forum with better view!

I am expecting a 1st in Economics in Warwick and got gd marks in Microeconomics and Econometrics last year. However, my chance is slim since I screwed up quite badly my GMAT (I was ill for 6 weeks prior to the exam). I received the 4th email last Friday.

Regardless to the LSE's decision, I am happy to give another go after the dissappointment 3 years ago!

Fingers crossed ppl!
oh god... got the "A decision has been made on this choice and is being processed. Processing involves checking by a senior member of staff, and occasionally verification of one or more details by your Department. Most decisions will be finalised and appear here within one or two working days (remember to allow for weekends!), however if we require clarification from the Department your status will remain unchanged for longer periods. No further information is available until all checks have been completed, and the decision will be posted here first" message.

First post here! Good luck to everyone!
^ i hope that's not your real e-mail address.

I was wondering... do you get these emails in the middle of the night or smth?!:eek:

Probably means you got it tho, considering the overwhelming evidence of people on this forum which got a positive outcome after receiving that email !

Congrats :biggrin:

It is not an email, you have to check the LSE website regularly.
I got a "decision has been made" update last night. Aaaaaah! Even though the evidence on here seems to suggest that that means I got an offer it's still crazy times having to wait for the message which actually confirms the offer.

It's for IR btw. Submitted on 7 Jan, so exactly 6 weeks from me submitting my app to getting a response.

Congrats on your offer Aemilius :smile: I finally received my offer yesterday for the MSc in Global History, anyone else applied for this? I was over the moon until reality hit me and I've realised I may not be able to afford it now my job hours have been cut by more than half. Has anyone else tried to defer their offer at all and did they manage to defer it? Does anyone know how the LSE deals with deferrals for postgrad. Thanks

how long do I have to expect to get rejection/offer?
Does anyone here use www.studentclearinghouse.org to send his/her trascript to LSE? Mine was sent to LSE Graduate Admissions on January 21 but LSE has yet receive it. It should not take more than a month for a first-class mail from the US to reach the UK.

I studied in United States but am now in Malaysia so I requested that my transcript to be sent directly to LSE.

Got an unconditional offer from LSE for MSc IR. I guess around a month ago. Recently have been rejected by Oxbridge. I think that the process is a lot like a lottery and it is not feasible to get full jackpot. So make a pool of applications. I actually thought that Oxbridge is more likely to let me in because the applications there were more representative. I've sent newspaper articles, conference papers, etc. LSE did not want that, but still, made me an offer.

Now, of course (!), I think that LSE was the best choice anyway. At least because it is the only one available.

Did you apply for IR at Oxbridge too or for a different degree programme? Have you heard back from Oxford already? You would be the first one here I think.

Yes, yesterday I got a letter from the Nissan institute of Japanese studies saying that I was not admitted to MSc in Russian and East European studies at Oxford. The address on the letter was handwritten and it was signed by hand.

Cambridge did not let me in two weeks ago - for MPhil in IR. The reason why I did not apply for MSc IR at Oxford is because it is a two year program.

LSE admitted me at the beginning of January. Just after holidays.

Right, so still no news from Oxford's IR department. The waiting continues... It is just odd that they rejected you even though you have already published while they accept other people straight from their undergrad without all those things. I would have expected people like you (having a lot more experience) to be their preferred candidates.

It seems to vary from between 2/3 weeks (very rare) to around 8 weeks, which is the norm.

All the best~
