Hi Kelsey,

If you don't mind me asking, how come did your letter become unconditional? Did you meet your conditions already? Sorry i'm just freaking out as i have a conditional offer on the basis i graduate with a certain gpa.. and was hoping that could just randomly and miraculously turn into an unconditional offer and I dont have to worry about gpas! :tongue:

My offer is for MSc Comparative Politics (Democracy), I wish they still had the Asia stream though, But it's still amazing, will be sort of a second choice for me as I did not meet my offer back in Undergraduate level. :smile:

What about you?

Why is 'Democracy' in inverted commas?

Is it in inverted commas, it's supposed to be brackets Lol

Anyway the brackets simply mean the stream/ track i am applying to, as they have many different specific area of interests such as Latin America, Markets and Economy...

Ah, I didn't know that. I thought there might be some units in common between Comparative Politics and Political Theory, which is what I'm doing, but it appears not.

How long do we have to make a decision to take the offer? Is it 6 weeks? I've always wanted to study at LSE, and I am waiting for SOAS to give me a decision, and I can't believe I am going to say this, but I am actually thinking between the two...Guess I just have to wait and see =)

no LSE is indefinite offer, I can't believe you are really considering the asian politics msc the courses look lame. Who forces you to take a development course for politics??? I blindly applied to it because I gushed at the term "asian politics" until I realize the course offerings are a bit.....meh

hello everyone...I was following this thread for a while, and now I have a question. I was offered a place at Economic History phd program two weeks ago. I am crazy about it. Though the funding part confuses me a lot. I am an overseas student and cannot afford both the tuition fee and living expenses. I am hoping to receive a full tuition fee waiver (or something close to it) and I know it is really difficult but what is the chance of obtaining LSE phd scholarship as an Economic history phd student? My academic backgroun is not bad (I've graduated first in the class from my first degree and have two masters)

Does anybody have any idea?

Firstly, I would like to congrats you. I'm planning to apply for the same program next year, with the second choice - Msc Management Science (Decision Science).

Therefore, I would like to ask you about your profile.

I'm from Slovakia and I'm currently a PhD student with major in Computer Science, previous degrees were also in Computer Science, and at the time of applying I would have around 10 months of work experience in a major international service provider.

Last summer I attended LSE Summer School where I found great interest in Strategic Management.

During upcoming summer I would like to pass GMAT examination, what were your results?

If you do not like to share this information in public, please send me a PM.

Thank you.

Martin

It will be intensely competitive. No one knows more than that. Have you applied for other sources of funding?
