Official LSE Postgraduate Applicants 2021 Thread

Has anyone applied to Financial Mathematics and/or Applicable Mathematics?

Hi! Do you have any relevant professional experience ?

Hey everyone! Submitted my applications for the MPA and MSc in International Social and Public Policy (Research) a few days ago! Fingers crossed

I would like to apply for MPA too but I don't have any full time work experience except for 4 very good relevant internships. Pl advice. Thank you.

how about you in terms of work experience?

I’ve applied to the MSc Accounting & Finance and was just put on the waiting list as well. My profile: Warwick Business School BSc Management with a 2.1 + 6-month internship at EY, Transaction Services. I have done other internships and jobs but unrelated.

I have two years working experience with the UN and am now working for a non-profit. All my working experience is in different developing countries other than a consultancy I did in London during my previous master's degree. If you stalk other MPA candidates who are featured, a lot of them are featured with just internships so I think you'll be fine if it's relevant and you tied the relevance in your PS.

When did you apply?

Application submitted on the 12th of October and ID received a few days later on the 15th.

Hello, I'm Felix from Ghana. I am an applicant in progress in the MPA program. I want to know the maximum and minimum number of pages the personal statement should be.

hi! has anyone reinstated their application from the last application cycle and heard back? i reinstated my application, but never actually got a confirmation that it was processed. i see on the portal that i'm under consideration, but just wanted to see if anyone else was in a similar situation, and if the same 8 week response time applied.

I did. reinstated it on 11th oct. got the email on 13th oct. On 18th Nov they reached out asking for a soft copy of my transcripts even though I had already sent it. Anyway, they've mentioned that they'll send my application for a final review once I share the documents. Currently I'm in the 7th week of application. So I believe the 8 week timeline is in play. I'm expecting a response by next week.

Hey Manas!
Which course have you reinstated for?
Even I reinstated on the 9th of October and my application is still under consideration.
I reinstated for MSc in MISDI.
Also, have you noticed any transcript drop in your application tracker?

I've applied for M.Sc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics & M.Sc Economics.
I havent noticed a drop yet.

Hey!
Thank you for the prompt reply!
I have noticed my transcript move to the bottom of the list and my university name has also disappeared. Hence was wanting to know if anyone else is in a similar position?

May I know when did you find the transcript drop?
I submitted all my documents as soon as the application entry opens, and I got my ID on 16th. No reply after that
