The typical Austria / Australia mistake? :wink:

Viel Glück


Yeah. You'd think things like these don't happen at LSE. :biggrin:

Thanks. Good luck to you too!

I applied for Econ History. How about you?


I also applied for economic history - didn't get my ID until 7th Jan though. For some reason my LSE for You account doesn't have the prospective student section so i can't track my application or apply for funding yet!
Got an offer today!

Congrats! When have you applied?

I'm curious because I received an Unofficial offer from the programme director on monday, but the deposit deadline for my second choice course is about to expire and I haven't received an official offer from the Lse Graduate Office yet...

I mainly spoke about my academic interests and tried to relate them as much as possible to the course content + I talked about my dissertation and various vaguely relevant 'experiences'
Also spoke generally about a possible dissertation topic - although I applied for the research track MSc as my first choice so they probably expect the PS to be more specific for that. Can't remember the exact length it came to in the end but I think it was something like 1200/300.
What did you mention in yours?

Ye, I pretty much did the same what I was interested, however I'm not doing a dissertation and instead just spoke about my economic history modules. However my PS is alot shorter than yours, one side of A4 to be exact. Risky hahaha.
Got a conditional offer for MSc Finance on the 14th of January:-)

You sound far more qualified and experienced than me so I am sure your offer will be on the way soon. Let me know how it goes and hopefully see you in September!


I received an unconditional offer today for Theory and History of International Relations. I am actually so over the moon, words cannot even begin to describe it! It turns out your prediction came true

LSE has always been my dream school. It's hard to believe that we'll be students there in a few months time, if all goes as planned.

yeah that should be fine - i dont think they'll be too bothered about the technicalities! Yeah my dissertation is coded as a history module but its on an economic history topic - did you do economics at undergraduate?

Thanks:biggrin: nope, I applied for the GSS only after I got the offer. This is because I need a larger amount of funding:/
