I think you will get reply with 3.5 or 4 weeks.

Thanks! Guess I just have to be patient then.

Hello! Quick question: both my references were submitted today and my application is now finally off for review. For those who have already received their offers, approximately how long did it take to hear back from them? Someone mentioned that LSHTM are notoriously slow at getting back, so just wondering ...? :hmmmm2:

For most, it took around 3-3.5 weeks.

Just found out that the reference wasn't submitted successfully. Admissions emailed me to request for the second reference to complete the application review. My referee just sent the reference letter to Admissions via email instead.

Probably have to wait for a few more weeks from now.

If it's a "really good job", then I say go for the job. If you then receive an offer at LSHTM, defer. Work experience can only boost your future applications, and it would also form an important foundation for your MSc, as you will be able to keep reflecting on what's being taught and how it applies in real life. And MSc's are only one year, so once you're settled into your job, then asking for a year out (on leave) isn't too bad? Then you'll have something to return to once your MSc ends, and won't have to start a frantic job hunt like everyone else!

Might be best to lightly prod them and find out how much longer it's likely to take - good luck, let us know what you decide!

Dear All,

Flywire confirmed that my payment of application has been sent to LSHTM on Mar 17 yet there is still no "SUBMIT" button in my online application page by today (Mar 27). I suppose LSHTM has not refresh its financial system ?

I wonder if this is normal or I need to contact the admission office. This is my dream school.

Brgds,

Shawn
