LSE Postgrad Applicants 2014-2015

Hi all,

I applied for MSc Double Degree in Global Media and Communications and received my 4th email on 7th March. When I checked the availability of the course on 22nd March, its status already changed to "closed". However, my application has still been under consideration by the department, and I have not heard anything from them yet. Has anyone experienced the same situation?

I read somewhere they still deal applications that were fully received before the programme became full. This means if it was still open/limited availability when you applied received the fourth email, they will consider you. On the other hand, I heard some people were placed on a waiting list, so maybe this might happen. To be honest, I am very uncertain about this, but it definitely does not mean they will disregard your application

I got on the reserve list for Financial Mathematics. In the email they said that the course is full and that I will get a final answer in mid august. Waited 3 months exactly after I got the 4th email.

Follow up on my earlier e-mail. After realizing my second choice has filled up, and what would be my third choice is close to being full, I emailed the graduate admissions department to state my concern after not having heard yet about my decision in the Development Studies program. That was about 3 hours ago. I just checked application tracker expecting the same message "Under consideration by department" but was surprised to see a conditional offer pending my graduating this May with a 3.5, which I will. To boot I received 9,000 pounds in aid. Woooooo Whoooooo! The tracker said they sent me my offer packet on April 8th, but considering it needs to come by post to the US, I suppose the wait is well worth it. It must take them some time to get all the decisions put in the tracker, so LSE you are forgiven ! Now I just have to raise the rest of the money and Im on my way! Last thing I want or need are more student loans, but I have a feeling with this degree from LSE I could land a pretty solid job. I see one Alumni of the same program is now a Presidential fellow in the Federal Government here in DC. Not a bad gig if you can get it. BAZINGA!

Just read on my application tracker they are not considering any applications for financial aid any more. Does this mean they will not accept new ones or that they will not look at submitted ones either?

Thank you

I took this from LSE website. I guess it means they no longer consider your application for financial aid unless a decision was already made on your application to the course.

Just yesterday I finished my essay for the financial aid application and planned to submit it today. I'm so pissed, it's ridiculous.

I called the admission office this morning. Ive been waiting for more than 8 weeks now they said the decision has been made . they're just waiting for the dept to send the file back to them, which gonna take another week or two. Is this a good sign? :/
