LSE postgraduate offer holders 2011/2012

Oh, okay, thanks for that.

Wow..what are the chances! A small world indeed. Have you decided if you'll be taking up your offer?

Congratulations to everyone here!

I just received an unconditional offer for my first choice MSc in Media, Communications and Development! Yah happy dance! Anyone else in that program?

Now to figure out funding and accom... I'm from Canada so any info on the different locations of the residences has been super helpful so far and look forward to figuring out what makes most sense.

Definitely I've only come across a couple of people doing Pol Theory at all, so very chuffed there's another Australian too. Yeah, I've decided to take up the offer. And you? Have you applied to other places? What was your undergrad in?

That's cool! Yeah, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be taking up the offer. I've only applied to the LSE and not to any other places. I think for social science LSE is the place to be. Have you applied to other places?

I majored in economics in undergrad so I've actually no formal training whatsoever in relation to political theory. Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew What was your undergrad in? Have you submitted all the necessary forms (proof of degree etc.)?

I did a Communications degree so my background isn't politics either. Formal training, psht, that's what a coursework Masters is supposed to achieve, right? I applied to a few other UK universities but I'm coming around to the 'for social sciences LSE is the place to be' idea. Nah, haven't done the proof of degree forms yet. I'm writing a to do note for it right now though...

I assume you're working at the moment then? What are you doing? And will you be applying for accommodation via the residential halls or finding private housing?

Communications...cool! And you're right, that is indeed what a Masters coursework programme is for. I'm looking forward to it!

I'm currently doing a PhD although I tend to spend more time at my local, but i guess you can say that i'm 'working'. I presume you're working too? How do you spend your days?

As for accommodation, I think i'll be looking at private housing. I thought about Grosvenor but they only have a 41 week contract and i'm looking to stay through summer. What are your preferences for accommodation? Will you be staying through the summer?

Hi,

Congratulations on your offer! I applied to the same programme, but haven't heard back yet. If you dont mind me asking, when did you apply to the course ? Good luck in sorting your accommodation, I am sure you will find some place soon. Cheers! Jeevan.

Hi Jeevan,

I applied at the beginning of January. Nice to find someone whose applied to the same program! When did you apply?

Good luck with the waiting game, I know it can be super stressful. Hope you hear good news soon!

Hi guys, just kicking off a new thread for discussion of accommodation, visas, drinks, and all else that may come up over the next months.



I haven't looked much at accommodation yet... I'll have to get my research on a little later in the picture when applications are open, everything has been so busy since Christmas!

There's a guide for offer holders on LSE For You which I skimmed, it pretty much said you have all the time in the world to accept your offer. No limit. 1 month certainly no object. I'm holding off too until I know a bit more about funding.

I haven't received my letter yet, and it's almost the 4 weeks they quote. Then again, it may have been delivered but eaten by snails already My letterbox is a scary place.

Yeah I got two offers from them. One for Actuarial. But I probably had much better grades than you, so I wouldn't feel bad tbh. Also its' spelt LSoE.

Hi Wobrien,

I applied on the 24th of January..guess I'll have to wait a little longer to hear back from them. Yup, its super stressing - I follow the LFY tracker literally every 10 minutes. I am sooo pathetic

Haha..anyways, hope to get some good news soon! Wish you all the best! Jeev.
