Wow! All these posts look very discouraging, because I applied only on Jan.25. Nevertheless, I still hope that there is a chance for admission.Wed Feb 06, 2008 01:00 AM I am a European attorney who got LL.M in the US, then got admitted there in two states and now applied for LSE LL.M. It was my understanding that under circumstances, I don't need to submit TOEFL results. Can anybody who were in the same situation and whose application has been reviewed, tell me if I am correct? If not, I will have to search for my old results. This question is for those who have already received offers: Do you think LSE puts any weight into work experience? In case with US LL.M programs, too many years of diverse experience were less appealing than 1-2 years of specialized experience. Thanks. |

Hey...Got an "unconditional offer" status yesterday...My application was "complete" on Nov 20, so that wait was a killer! Big relief though...Wed Feb 06, 2008 06:30 AM Along with that, I got a message to the effect that - "It has been determined, based on the standard of your application etc...that you are eligible to apply online for a Graduate Support Scheme..." Anyone else who has got an intimation like that?? My guess would be that the very best candidates get an outright grant with their admission offers, but others like me might get a kind of second chance.... All the best to those still waiting! |

I applied to LSE on 9th Jan. After waiting for this long, the status is waitlisted. I called them up and they have said they will get back to me in a couple of weeks time.Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:56 AM But then, couple of weeks is a debatable issue! :-( |

I applied on December 5. No news at all. My nerves are getting all bundled up. I don't know if its safe being optimistic anymore.

You are kind hjscotland. But its getting worse with every passing day. Even anticipating the waitlist is not a happy thought. When did you hear from them?

Hi attorney, I personally think that everyone who is not accepted is waitlisted. I have been waitlisted almost for 9 weeks. But the two weeks around Xmas are excluded from the period stated for reconsideration of waitlisted applications as I was told by LSE. After all places have been distributed LSE announces to waitlisted people that unfortunately there are no places left. I think they just do not want to reject applicants and so they do it in this way. But on the other hand I noticed on this forum that a year ago one waitlisted guy had been offered place. So still there is a chance!!!

With due consideration to the holiday season, even my ten-week period got over today. Still nothing!

Hi Guys, Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:56 PM I dont know how much of a consolation this is going to be, I know what must be going through everyone's mind at this point of time. I am at present doing an LLM at LSE and I must tell you guys that sometimes things happens very slowly here, they might take some time to make a decision, sometimes considering the large volume of application that they recieve. I am sure everyone must hear something by the midweek of march. Dont lose hope guys, there is still enough time before they make the decisions. Last year many of my friends heard back fomr them towards the end of march and some had got only conditional offers initally, but they are all here now. If you guys need any help specifically, do not hesitate to contact me. |

Hi mrindiaMon Feb 18, 2008 02:02 PM I haven't been able to come up with any plausible reason as to why have they side-tracked my application completely. I applied on the 5th of December which was more than ten weeks ago. There are people with decisions who applied in mid/late December. A waitlisted person above applied on the 9th of January. Finally, i wrote to them today. The unknown is driving me up the wall. Do you think there can be any explanation? |

I applied towards the end of Jan and got a letter last week informing me that I've been waitlisted. I just got a letter from my Uni letting me know that I was in the Top 15% of my class. Do you think I should forward this to LSE so as to help my application or do you guys think not to bother?

Hi g_osinuga,Mon Feb 25, 2008 05:10 PM I'm actually unable to really help you with your query. But personally I would send it, sounds really good top 15%. I applied in late January too, but haven't heard anything yet. If you don't mind telling, when did you submit your application? Thanks |

And here we go. I applied on Jan.25, then changed my essay several days later, and today found out that I'm on waitlist. The whole process took 4 weeks, but has produced an unsatisfactory result. Now I have a different kind of agony:-( Who knows how much time it will take...
