Yea I applied to MSc Regulation a while ago and no news yet. Suppose the department of government is a bit slower than other departments then. Best of luck anyways!

My second choice just changed to held pending further preliminary documentation. All documents are there, is this wrong? What do I do now?
Does this mean I got rejected from my first choice?

no this is a standard message that appears if application is still being considered for 1st choice so don't worry. To confirm it check decision for 1st choice on your portal I guess it must still say that application under consideration.
Secondly you can message them too through online enquiries regarding this.

Nops, me too waiting since last 10 weeks, application still under consideration, don't know whats happening. Any update at your side.

I've now been under consideration by the department since January 29th, aka 16 weeks. SIXTEEN! That's double what they said I'd be waiting, which is insane in my opinion.. I've called and talked to the Graduate Admissions Office three times. They said they would contact the department to get a decision more quickly each time.. one of the times the representative even said he would get in contact with his higher ups to try and get it seriously rushed. He said that after repeatedly contacting the department, the Admissions office was never responded to..

It's getting ridiculous.. I need to get a Visa, and I'm holding an offer at UCL, so it's getting difficult to continue to just sit and wait when it all could be pointless. I'm getting to a point where -- if they don't respond soon-- I'm going to just accept one of my other offers.

Same here I also hold unconditional offer from UCL, KCL, Warwick n SOAS. While I would prefer going to LSE but they still considering my application. I also applied on 14 feb then kept on submitting different documents but no decision yet. So can't help it but to wait...let's see for few more days.

Does anyone know whether an application that was submitted six weeks ago will be considered when the program availability status changed to closed today. It's regarding the MSc finance and accounting. Thanks

Does anyone know out of experience whether applications submitted six weeks ago will be considered when the program availability status changed to closed today? It's regarding the MSc finance and economics.

Everyone that applied before the programme closed will be considered. It only means that they have enough suitable candidates and thus, they don't need more applications.

After waiting for 8 weeks, I have got my conditional offer for MPA program.
It states that I should take basic calculus course before registration.
Anyone experienced this?

How are you going to take and pass the course?

Not sure if you've had a reply for this but the basic calculus course is proper easy if you've had any experience with A-levels maths and you don't even have to pass the course!

If you have carried on with undergraduate level mathematics I would recommend taking the presessional economic maths course that allows you a wider range of course option... (They send you an email about it in August I think... )
