Wow, your profile is amazing! I am doing econ from uni of delhi, 166Q in GRE and 6 research related internship. I’m still in my final year but will probably finish with a first division ( which is like 1:1 )
What did you submit as your written work?

Oh, that's really nice. Good luck!

A short paper I wrote as summer researcher and a paper in econ from a module I did a year ago. What about you?

Let me know how it goes!

Hey, happy to talk to someone who is in the same boat. I hold offers from Kings and Trinity College Dublin as back ups. Still waiting on UCL and Oxford.
Ooh! Congrats on your offers! Does UCL have a Dev Econ course?

Noo, it’s MSc Economics
Hi, I also applied for the MSc Economics for Development. I also applied for MSc Development Economics at Sussex, and MSc Emerging Economies and International Development at King's. I am so impatient! I have a 3.8 from a university in the States (graduating in May), 167Q 166V GRE, and not much research but I'm doing a development economics thesis for undergrad.

Hi, I also applied for the MSc Economics for Development. I also applied for MSc Development Studies at LSE, and MSc Development Economics at Sussex, and MSc Emerging Economies and International Development at King's. I am so impatient! I have a 3.8 from two honors programs (Economics and Business) at the University of Texas at Austin (graduating in May), 167Q 166V GRE, and not much research but I'm doing a development economics thesis for undergrad. My first sample was an excerpt from my thesis, my second sample was an analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic through the light of Keynes' essay "How to Pay for the War," on Great Britain and WW2 that I wrote last May.

Your profile is so impressive! I hold an offer from the same program at Kings.

Best of luck!
