Anyone who got an offer for philosophy and economics? The wait is killing me. I am now 6 weeks into my 'strongest in admission cycle' mail. (Inlc. Holidays) So i should have heard back today, right? Also, is it true lse only sends offers on fridays?

Did you say you applied for history? Did you get the offer?
I've applied for Philosophy and Economics and it's been 5 weeks now since I got the 2 week email. Is this a bad sign or is it probably due to the holidays?

Hi, I've applied for Phil and Econ too! I got the strongest applicant email exactly 5 weeks ago as well, and then the Christmas one, so if they keep to their timescale I should hear something by next Friday! So nervous, LSE is my first choice!
And good luck to you!

I'm 5 weeks into mine for phil and econ too! From what I've gathered it's mainly rejections on Fridays!

I know how you feel. LSE is also my first choice. Where else have you applied?

Good luck to you too! Hopefully we hear from them soon!

I got the rejection the last day before LSE closed for Christmas, so I never had to have the Christmas holiday one.

I never received the 5 week email either (it seems one batch of them got lost, as many other maths with econ applicants didn't get it either), but I received the 4 week email roughly 5 weeks after I should have received the 5 week email (I hope that made sense - it is quite a confusing situation...)
Uh oh. Reading all this, I haven't got any 2 week email at all. I applied in January and the wording of my email was thus:

We are very pleased that you have applied to study BSc in Government at LSE.

This email is confirmation of receipt of your application. Decisions are made on a rolling basis, and we will make a decision on your application within approximately 12 weeks and no later than 31 March 2014 (whichever is earlier). We will be emailing you every few weeks to update you on the progress of your application.


Is this a less positive sounding email than what anyone else has got? Has anyone applying for BSc Government got this mail? Am I being massively paranoid for no reason?

I applied for the same course and got an offer before christmas, just to reassure you here's my timeline:

Applied 6th October
Got 2 week email straight away
Then I waited until 4th December(!) got the 7 week email
The same day I got the "strongest" email
Offer on the last LSE Friday (love that phrase lol :tongue:)

Don't worry about the long wait there are a LOT of applications to get through and as long as you meet the entry requirements and have a solid PS you should defo be fine!

PM me if you want more info! :smile:

That's reassuring. I've met the entry requirements so I'm just hoping that my personal statement is good enough. The more I wait, the more I start doubting whether it is lol.

Congrats on your offer! :smile:

Don't worry I'm sure that it is just going to take a little while. They might be waiting until January 15.
Gahh, super happy with my offer for Maths with Econ, but I'm not sure between LSE and Bath! Anyone know how competitive the year abroad at LSE is? :smile:

Same here. My kid has all other decisions, just waiting on LSE now.

LSE has always been first choice.
