LSE postgrad applicants 2012-13

It was my references and PS that got me into LSE, not GMAT nor my not so special grades. It is not all about the quant stats!

hey I am planning to apply to LSE for the 2012 entry... Well I know I am pretty late but due to various reasons I didnt apply earlier. I will send in my application by the 18th of this month. I am currently in the final year of degree college and will graduate this May. I am an economics major student from India. Here's a list of questions I have.
1. What are the chances of being admitted to the Msc Econometrics Course?
2. Can I apply to more than one course?
3. Is it possible to submit GRE scores later?

I was wondering if anyone knows how LSE stands in the States? I'm heavily considering the two-year MPA in Intl Dev at LSE, which is very quant & econ focused (in comparison to their one-year MScs in IR topics). I'm in at SAIS as well as GW ($$), but my sig. other is English and will be in London for the next couple of years.


I know US schools like SAIS has a much stronger rep. and better network, but is it that much better than LSE if I were to come back to the States once I'm done? I don't want to go into a potentially disastrous long distance relationship if the difference isn't that major.

Thanks for any insight.

Just received a conditional offer for the MSc in Gender, Policy and Inequalities via email. Very exciting! Anyone else apply for this course? Or know anything about it (other than what is on the website)?

Heya!

Firts off...Congratz for your offer!!

Sorry to bother you, but since this is the same course I am interested in atm...would I have a chance if, say, I applied now?

I graduated in January from a foreign uni, and hold a MA already...do I stand a chance?

Thankss

Hey guys, I got my 4th email for Accounting and Finance (1st choice) and Finance (2nd choice) 3 weeks ago. I know it takes them about 8 weeks to respond, but I got a full scholarship + free accommodation (valued at ~£24,000) for another school. I must confirm the offer and the scholarship in about 10 days. Do you think that if I call LSE and tell them 'I got a free ride for another school, can you tell me if I'm accepted by the end of next week' they would be accommodating?

Thank you! To be honest I really don't believe I am the right person to judge whether you have a chance...I'm surprised I even got in and am not sure exactly what it is they look for in successful applicants for this course. However, on the website it states that it is best to apply before the end of June, and since this program is not one of their largest or most popular programs (e.g. Finance, Economics, Accounting) then I believe that you would still have a chance of consideration if you applied now. I would suggest that you act quickly but give it a shot! This is a fairly small course so if you are qualified I don't think the late application would really harm you too much. Then again, I don't work at LSE so this is all speculation.

What foreign school are you from? I'm from the U.S. and will be graduating with my B.A. in May.

Whoops the congratulations should have been for you. I'm not great with computers. Ha Ha.

Haha thanks! Congratulations to you too! Are you accepting the offer?
