LSE 2016 Postgraduate Application/Offer Thread

Hello all,

I noticed that there was a thread for 2016 applicants to LSE already, but most of the posters seemed to be prospective undergraduate students.

Since its now January and the first offers are due to come out quite soon, feel free to post the postgrad offers you have received or are waiting on, and if you would like, your profile!

No offers today it seems. When did you apply and for what course?

Hope they start replying this week.

I applied for the MSc Finance and received a email a few days before Christmas saying that "I have been recommended for an offer". I hope this means that I have a good chance at receiving an actual offer soon...

Oh congrats. I've never heard of it changing to that. I've had no reply at all since November.

What program did you apply for? I think its only a few departments that send out such an email notification, ie. management, finance, etc

Department of Government. Looking at the previous years threads they seem to always take the longest to reply :colonhash:

Ya, I think the government, IR, and acc+fin courses have the longest wait time. Hopefully the school will start sending out offers by the usual date in the second week of January.

Hey all,

I originally intended on taking a year out after graduation and then applying for the MSc International Relations, however due to changing circumstances I am considering applying for 2016 entry... do people think an application sent before the 20th of January is far too late? I have mixed feelings about 'rolling admission' definitions as other institutions appear to hold off some places until later..

Hey ShiddyDeltaHej, I have received a similar email on the first week of December last year. Applied for the MSc Finance too... Still waiting for an official offer!

When did everyone submit their application? My final reference came through on 22 December but I still haven't received my LSE ID number yet - should do within the next few days. I'm applying for the MSc Economic History (Research)

I applied late November, last recommendation came in early december. Based on former experience I think my offer/rejection will come by mid/end of february.
Applicants from october/november might get/got offer short before christmas and will in january.

It really takes a lot - all in all about 3 months.

No it is definitely not too late. I know people who applied far later (up till April/May) and got an offer very quickly. If you want to do the course do apply! That being said waiting too long is not a good idea.

You should receive a confirmation mail for every recommendation submitted. After that it took me about 2 weeks to receive my LSE-ID. When you get you LSE ID the real waiting begins, it takes aprox. 6-10 weeks from that point on to review your application.

Hi all, how does funding work for Research Masters (coded: MSc (Research)) and how likely is one to receive ESRC funding? There seems to only be 2 places available in the Masters I am applying to - if I were to get in, would that give me a good chance at funding or...? Thanks!

Hey, guys! Has anyone here applied for the Real Estate Economics and Finance? I have got ID in early November, no notifications since then and the status stays in "under consideration by department" like forever. It is now more than 9 weeks from then. Am I rejected? Suspense is killllling!
