Hello fellow Economic Historian (in the making, of course).

hi,

is anyone still waiting to hear back? ive sent my application about 2 months ago but nothing yet. Ive applied for the msc in eu politics. i hold a ba in eu politics(lower 2.1) an msc in political research (upper 2.1) and an mba from insead 2.1 again. im working for 4 years now as an associate for a hedge fund company.
i dont have first class degrees, so im not sure if my profile is strong enough to get an offer?

Hi All,

I am also still waiting to hear back. I applied about a month ago for the MSc in Environment and Development. I am getting antsy even though I know the average 8 weeks have not passes yet. This is because the program is now listed as closed, and has been for three weeks or so. This leads me to be hopeful that I might be accepted, but I not sure if I really have a sound basis for that thought.

I am American, with a exceptional GPA for an average university (University of Rhode Island) in Environmental Economics and Natural Resource Management. I have worked for an International Energy Conservation Non-profit for the almost a year now ,and before that spent four months working for a rural development non-profit in Cameroon Africa. In addition, I had relevant internships throughout my schooling. what do you think my chances are??

Thank you , and congrats to everyone that has been accepted so far!

call them and ask if your file is being review and if its in the queue. i think closed means they dont have any more seats to offer, but i might be wrong

I actually emailed them before posting this on this thread. I was just told it was being considered in the "normal" way because it was submitted before it closed, it is now closed to new applicants. I was then told that my decision is on its way back to the admissions office and I should have a result in the next few days.

Thank you for your response and wish me luck!

I must say that was a very friendly response that they gave you. When I was waiting I was told that it would usually take around eight weeks for my decision (which, incidentally it did).

I don't know if that is a good sign or a bad one? Maybe they were kind to soften the blow...haha. Either way the wait will soon be over.Which is the worst part, just not knowing.

Oh, no I'm sure it means nothing :smile:

. The nice weather has a positive impact on most people! :smile:

I called just before the Easter Break so they were probably desperate to go home (understandable as they must get hundreds of requests like this).

looking_for_swap

What is the deal with swapping offers for accommodation? read somewhere that if two people willing and both halls agree, it is possible to arrange before term actually starts? is this possible?

If so, looking to swap my room, I am going into first year and have been put into Myddelton wing of Roseberry Hall on a 38 week contract - ideally looking for a 30 week contract as live in London so don't want to be paying for the holidays!

Has anyone heard anything about non GSS scholarships/awards? I know they only contact successful applicants so I thought maybe some of the decisions are out already. Or is it too early?

Anyone interested in a flat share let me know, not really feeling the student accommodation. Also if anyone has any advice in regards to looking for roommates or flats I am open ears!

does any of you know what times the classes are? in my email it says i should attend 30hours of study per week. which seems too much. unless they mean the time i need to dedicate to reading etc?
