Official LSE Applicants+Decisions 2009

Fair play, let's end this here then :smile:

I presume that's why it's 'easier' to initially get into an IB in North American then, since you have to go back to university, whilst we fully start working as an investment banker etc for an indefinite period (unless of course you get fired :tongue:

) as early as 21/22? Who knows :tongue:

, but more importantly, who really cares! lol
May I ask which North American school it is btw? Congrats on having both an MBA and a law degree already though...if I interpreted that correctly!
Btw, and I don't mean to scare you, but Law at LSE is ridiculously competitive already, without sending your application late...they only consider late applications if there are any places left, right? :s-smilie:

Where else did you apply? =]

I applied to a bunch of UK schools...but four out of the 5 schools were back-ups in case i messed up the LSAT. LSE is the only school I would consider going given that I didnt mess up the lsat....don't have the MBA / JD yet...that's what i applied for in North America. I applied to QMUL, Dundee, York and Warwick

Still waiting on LSE. Not too concerned but it would be a valuable option. I applied before Jan 15 but not too far from the deadline... Not sure what the impact is of the March 10 test for int'l students. I assume LSE needs to grade those exams and evaluate the performance against int'l peers with more comparable credentials. Having a response on March 31st would be too late in the game.

Anyone applied for law that's heard from Warwick? I'm waiting for them too... while I wait for LSE!!

I've applied for Law m100 to LSE, still waiting..I got an offer from warwick around mid december. But I'm also international, maybe I'm in a different category? I know quite a few friends in my school who aren't international and still waiting for a reply from Warwick, so good luck! :smile:

Just some news, my university counselor says that LSE got our Jan modular results a couple of days before us and that this COULD be why they rejected people on the Monday! I don't know how true this is so if any of those who got rejected could give us an insight into their Jan modular results it would make for an interesting study! Well good luck to all and let us pray for offers today!

They do not get your January results. Anyone who tells you otherwise is talking utter garbage.

That seems very unlikely, how would that work? LSE don't know my candidate number, where I sat my exams, in addition, think about the sheer number of results they would have to look up...

I seriously doubt that

I'm setting myself up for harsh disappointment but I'm a little more confident that I'm going to receive an offer.

Not sure how many follow the thread religiously but on tuesday i received an email form the LSE regarding an IGCSE English Speaking Test (Its optional and my school didn't offer it) so I replied that I didn't take the test. A day later my head of 6th form received an email about whether English was my first language... It is, so he replied accordingly.

So today I went to old school (I'm on a gap year) on the instructions of my head of 6th form because LSE, UCL, Kings and Imperial were there to talk to perspective students and give a presentation.

I had a 10 minute chat with the LSE rep which turned out to be the dean of undergraduate studies! Dr Jan Stockdale. She told me that the English issue was because LSE have been concerned over the level of Spoken English of International students. She apologised saying she knows our school well (apparently she's been coming to our school for years to do these presentations even before she was the dean) and she knows our students english is of good quality. She told me not to be discouraged if i received an offer on the condition of doing an English test IELTS (? Haven't heard of it)

Then we had a 10 minute chat about Malaysian politics (I'm applying for government) because I told her I was now working as a political journalist. I told her about how I emailed the LSE last week informing them of my job and how I'm being published almost everyday to which they replied they wouldn't consider it because its not vital additional information. But she replied "don't worry I'll do something about it... I'm the dean"

I've been buzzing ever since but I fear I'll get a rejection before she goes back to the LSE to "report her findings" in her words this sunday...

If i had to put money on someone receiving an offer, it would be you.

I think you need to calm down my friend!! I said that I was told this by my university counselor and this had me worried even MORE fearing that my results would not be good enough! No need to neg-rep me for sharing something I was told!!

Oh good luck, but did they suggest at all that they will be considering your jan results?
Something like "ok I will pass it on" ect...?

Well all they said was, if you think your information is worth sending to LSE, then please send it to us via email, and rmb to quote your ucas ID number =)
