Yes they did. I looked at their processing times page and it seems like they left the date for what applications they are processing blank so maybe they haven’t started reviewing applications yet?

I believe that site is updated once a week. They will probably look at yours soon since you're the first in the queue
If you don't mind me asking, what course are you are applying for? are you an international student?Reply 5

I think applications are open now for most courses if not all. Even if it says closed on the website, if it’s listed as one of the programs when you apply, then it’s open.

Saw this new programme for 2022 entry listed on the economic history department course page. I am an economics student who has also studied a fair bit of finance. I wish to apply to the economic history programme, and have almost completed my application. However, I can't help but wonder that given my backgorund my chances for admission will be higher for the financial history programme. Should I apply to both? Is it advisable to apply to two similar programmes under the same department for postgraduate study?

It looks like MISDI applicants are the majority so far
I was wondering if based on previous years we should expect to hear back in Nov if we are waitlisted and before the holidays in Dec with the final decision?

Hey guys,
I applied for the 2022 entry M. Sc. International Health Policy (Health Economics). My application was completed and sent to Department for consideration on 19th October. I also have received my ID and have access to the application tracker.
LSE stated on their website that it takes 8 weeks for a decision, but I also read that they will only release offers from January on. Does anyone know if I can expect to get a decision before January?
Thank you!
