LSE entry for 2014

After you send your application off you will receive an email acknowledging that they have received your application, in this one they won´t say anything else.

Then you will receive an email saying someone is examining your application and that they will get back to you in two weeks. In this two weeks if they require UMS grades then they will email you a short questionnaire asking you to give some extra data to help assess you.

If you appear suitable then they will send you another email stating they are going to look at your application further and will hopefully get back to you in the next 5 weeks. It is worth noting that you could receive the 5 week email as quickly as 2 days after the 2 week email or even after 2 weeks, it varies by department.

If you are rejected for any reason they will email you telling you that you are not suitable for the university. Do not panic if you have not received any emails as this just means your department is busy.

Currently we don´t have much information as to what happens after the 5 week email as not many of us have reached that point yet.

I'm not sure if this is true. I've checked 2013/2012 entry on LSE and people were receiving UMS questionnaires early/mid-November.

I had my UMS questionnaire the day after my 2 week email. It also seems like the whole process is radically different this year, especially with the email updates.

Do they ask UMS for each course, I've read somewhere in this thread that it's only Economics with Stats.

Nothing from LSE yet
But then most other applicants for IR seem to share my fate, so it's hopefully not that bad...

The others are UCL, St Andrews and Cambridge (just for the fun of it :P)

You don't happen to study at the Theresianum by the way, do you?

Oh i am applying to UCL and St. Andrews too (Oxford, also for the fun, but turns out to be a bit more work than fun :P )

Close, Sacre Coeur why?

You're so right! It's actually pretty sad that all this work will most likely be for nothing. There are 54 applicants for 8 places at my college... LOL

Ah, a fellow little Catholic :P
I'm Ursulinen. I just know a lot of people from the Theresianum through the Model European Parliament.
Are you doing any interview training for Oxford btw?

Hi,

I am interested in becoming an actuary in the future, however, I have decided to do an Economics degree instead and then do further study in the future if I still wanted to become an actuary. This was because of how many people complaining about how difficult actuarial science is and how it reduces your choices in the future. I'm enjoying Economics and want to definitely do something in finance in the future. My question is what should I say in my Personal Statement as to what I want to become in the future?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I was wondering,

If the acceptance rate of the course I've applied for is 10:1, and I have received the 5 week email, whats my chance, statistically speaking, to get an offer ?

Thanks,

I really cant resist. I want to call them and ask the how i should take the five week email and whether that means i am very competitive applicant and my chances of being made an offer is high or is it just something that majority of applicants received. Do you think its weird if I do?! has anyone already contacted them regarding this ?!

You should do it! I think all of us are curious. It wouldn't be weird- you could just not give your name or say it's on a friend's behalf...

I've just emailed them. You can call them if you want and then let me know what they said- PLEASE . I tried calling the history department but no one picked up the phone. I ll let you know what they said by email. In the mean time you can call them.
