I submitted my application on Nov. 28th, and I received a condition offer today :)

Probably all those submitted their application in that period will hear soon...

Capa,

How much time were you on the waiting list?? It's been 6 weeks already and I don't have any news yet....


have been on the waiting for 6 weeks now. Somewhere it is said that it takes 6 weeks for the application to be reconsidered but somewhere it is said that it is 8 weeks. So I think that we have to wait little more. But honestly I thing that all those people who were not accepted were put on the waiting list. I wonder if someone´s application has been rejected...

Hello all,

I haven't even submitted my application yet, hope to submit it by the end of the week. Does anyone have an idea, how the chance are for someone applying so late? I looked up on the LSE homepage, where it says that they are still open for the LL.M....

Hope for all of you to get in and maybe see you someday...

Banker, I actually think they put on the waiting list the people that applied too early (however, we can always be rejected!)
My friend was put on the waiting list of another faculty and after six weeks she got an unconditional offer and a $10,000 merit award...

Yes, that's right, so just because it is taking longer than others doe snot mean anything.

My response took a while, but I got an unconditional offer + Merit Award so its all good! Chin up guys! :-)

just to update waitlisted people - today I was said by LSE that none of the waitlisted files have been returned for re-consideration yet.

I applied on November 29th (8 weeks yesterday!) and my application is still displaying 'under consideration by the department'! The wait is killing me! Does anyone think this means anything?

Congratulations to all those accepted, and best of luck to those on the waitlist.

I sent my app. on december 3rd and I was put on the waiting list today. That is probably because LSE thinks I'm not good enough to receive an offer and not bad enough to be rejected. It's a guess.

yes, waitlist is alot more promising than rejection. if it was 'bad enough' to be rejected, they would have done so.

I have called UCL's admissions office today. They told me that at least with them you can always accept the offer and still decline it later on if you receive another (better) offer.

I have been accepted on the condition that I get at least a B-average, which I think it is not possible for me not to achieve, unless I fail my final thesis, which I won't.

I have received scholarships at Oxford and Fulbright, thought, so I think LSE will be plan C.

Thanks! I don't know whether I will be going to Oxford or to the U.S., I just know that I want to focus on interantional law.

LSE Specialisms - not great
Wed Jan 30, 2008 05:04 AM

Hello,

I went thru the specialism of UCL, LSE, KCL; it appears UCL has a clearly thorough list of specializations. I found both LSE and KCL's to be quite mangled and vague.

Can anyone provide their insights on this. Can LSE be more hyped internationally than UCL?

Thanks,

Ohima

hi
I applied to LSE on 13th December and my status reads wait listed.Is there any chance of me getting in inspite of applying so late.Although i've already got a call from Kings and i didnt apply in UCL but LSE would be my priority incase i get an offer.

I honestly don't know. I'd accept Kings, then risk trying to 'unnaccept' if you get a place at LSE.

Best of luck,

Hey,
I don't if this helps. I wrote an email to LSE on 15th January asking if there is still a possibility in applying and I got the answer that they are still open for applications. So I assume that in any case applications arriving until the middle of January have a chance. Good luck!

I submitted my application on December 5. The eigt-week deadline is long past. Its extremely unnerving to know that even the waitlist is eluding me.

I was told by LSE that the two weeks around Xmas are excluded from the 8 weeks´ period. So with Xmas it is actually 10 weeks´period.
