LSE postgrad applicants 2012-13

Some people here seriously need to relax. It's just university admissions, you will have nervous breakdowns with that attitude later in life when you have problems that actually matter.

According to what I understood by phone, they say offers would come by the end of the week (I guess Friday).

I agree with you to some extent, and you are more than entitled to your opinion. But at the same time, I feel like it is a little silly for you to tell others how they should behave and to "relax". I think a lot of people use it as an outlet, and if you think its ridiculous then you don't need to partake or stress about it, but others are certainly allowed to.

I'm not telling anyone how to behave. However, I do believe that if some people are as stressed about this, as they are portraying themselves to be, then it's not healthy for them, plus it gets boring for others.
I see it this way: the people applying to LSE are obviously smart and good students. So if they are stressed now, they were probably stressed about doing well in high school, being admitted to a good university, getting good grades during their bachelors, and so on. However, from a current point of view, getting stressed whether you get an A or a B on a test in high school seems silly and negligible. The same way, 5 or 6 years from now, when you get fired for the first time, a relative gets sick, face a divorce, or whatever problem you face, you will see how unnecessary it is to stress that you might end up in Warwick/UCL/whatever is your second choice and not in LSE.

Hi Everyone,

I applied to the MSc China in Comparative Perspective at the very start of December. Is anyone else hoping to get onto this degree?

Hi, should I call the office and ask them if they have overlooked anything at all? One of my referers said she has received the acknowledgement slip from LSE after she sent in her reference but so far EMBARK has not registered this or should I wait a few more days? It's been a week already.
