Nah I’m actually petrified to apply since I never feel like my PS is good enough. I’ve got predicted 3 A* and A in Maths, Geography, business and FM and want to apply for maths and economics.
I’m applying with extenuating circumstances and have a couple retakes so should be ok I think? Still wary about that tho
Any advice?

What should one do to make sure they are absorbing every opportunity offered at LSE? How do i make the most of it? I want to hear from alumni, current students.. anyone really who has something meaingful to share :)

I was thinking of applying to LSE BSc politics

my predictions are A*A*AA, GCSEs are 999999888. Will not being predicted 3A* disadvantage me as this course is sooo competative?

Which halls have more abgs international ones or garden halls

I want to apply for psychological and behavioural science and my GCSEs are 9888887666 (English 8 and Maths 7). I’m not sure if they’re high enough to be worth applying assuming I have a good ps and predicted grades?

I know they’re relatively high but I went to a grammar school so the average grade will be pretty high if they’re looking at it contextually.

Thanks!

Hi All

I am planning to apply for LSE MSc Finance and Private Equity program, asking for feedback on my Profile:

* Nationality: Indian

* Undergraduate degree: Private University, B. Sc. (Research) Economics and Finance

* CGPA: 8.23/10

* Class 10: 91.2%

* Class 12: 83.8%

* GRE: 338

* Work experience: 1.5 years at American Express, part of Strategic Sourcing team - Sourcing tech services and working on deal negotiations

* Internships: Tier 2 - Mutual fund (equity research) (summer 2-months and final year 6-months) and Founders office (Y-comb backed startup) (2-months)

I am just worried coz of the acceptance rates

Finance and private equity 3.57% (19/528)
Finance and economics 5.56% (44/800)
Finance 9.09% (160/1704)

I tried to make up for my profile by pulling the most in GRE...

Any current student who I can connect with would be really helpful as well!!

I applied to the MSc Media and Communications program on 20th October, and up until now all my admin tasks and documents (except evidence of academic qualifications) had flipped to No Action Required.

However, today I checked the portal and under admin tasks, I saw Action Required for the Graduate Support Application. But I can’t access the form to fill it? I’ve attached screenshots below, and different sections say different things- super confused about how to fill the application. Has anyone been able to get it done yet? Is this a glitch?

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to apply to two MSc programmes at LSE, both of which are in the same department and cover closely related academic fields.

I have a specific research interest that could fit well with either programme, so I would like to explore the same general research topic in both applications. However, I'm wondering whether submitting very similar Statements of Academic Purpose (SOPs) could put me at a disadvantage.

Would the admissions team expect the two SOPs to focus on clearly different research interests, even if the topic is relevant to both programmes? Or is it fine to have some overlap, as long as I explain why each programme is a good fit and tailor the SOPs to the specific courses and academic focus of each degree?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has applied to two similar LSE programmes, especially within the same department.

Thanks in advance!

Do i have a shot at LSE mim?

Hi everyone! I know the application cycle already opened in October; nevertheless, has anyone been accepted or rejected yet? Apparently, LSE has already started sending updates. Any information would be welcome!

Applying for postgraduate, was going to submit my application then suddenly saw that I scored high among several AI checkers (some said it was human written)

I am a hypochondriac, so I have spent the last few hours rewritting and phrasing most of my application. AND IT KEEPS SAYING ITS AI CHAT GPT WRITTEN.

What is going on? I feel like im losing my mind. Im scared the people reading my application will think its ai because it will be flagged by some AI checker and I will be automatically rejected.

International student who submitted my apps 12-ish days ago, and I got an offer from Kings but haven't heard back from any others.

Based on your experience, how fast did LSE results come out? I'm EDing to Cornell Uni right now, and I plan on withdrawing my ED if I get an offer from LSE (ED is due Nov 1).

LSE has been my dream school since I was a kid and I really want to go, but ED is binding so I'm quite a bit conflicted..

I’m applying this cycle and am not sure which program to apply 1st choice! I’ve done a lot of research on the two programs but still feel stuck. I want to work in the INGO sphere and go into humanitarian emergency response, mainly in the MENA region for a number of years (wouldn’t be opposed to working elsewhere later on, but my passion lies there) but I also want to develop more quantitative skills that could help me in my career, which the MPA provides. I would likely want to eventually get my PhD to hopefully become a professor and do research. I looked at post-grad prospects for both degrees and the MPA seems to have better placement in terms of what I’m looking for but the MSc IDHE is exactly the specialty I want to go into. Any input would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am currently a penultimate-year LLB student at Middlesex University, with high ambitions of getting into LSE for the LLM programme.

I achieved top marks in secondary school and I am on track to achieve a First or at least an Upper Second in my LLB. Other than that, I have some modest extracurricular experience and leadership roles through university societies and projects. I also have a tiny bit of professional legal work experience.

As I approach the halfway point of my LLB, I’m looking for advice on how I can prepare well in advance for applying to the LLM programme. I understand the academic rigour of the programme and the importance of a strong personal statement, but I’d like some first-hand advice on what other activities I could be doing at this stage to strengthen my application.

Any advice from people who have applied to or studied the LSE LLM, as well as from LSE students or alumni in general, would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi, I wanted to get your honest opinion regarding my profile and university choices.
I graduated in 2023 with a BA in Political Science Honours, securing a CGPA of 6.1 (approximately 2.44 GPA). After graduation, I worked with an NGO for around 1.5 years, followed by six months of working under a Chartered Accountant, where I gained exposure to finance and accounting. I’m now building my financial knowledge and planning to pursue a master’s degree in Finance in the UK.
Considering my academic background and professional experience, do you think I should apply to LSE, or would it be more practical to focus on Queen Mary University of London’s Finance programme?
I would really appreciate your honest assessment of my chances at LSE and whether Queen Mary would be a better choice for my profile and long-term career goals in finance.

Does LSE makes very strong impact for JOB

Hi everyone! I am applying to the Msc finance program and needed advice and opinions on my Sop. If youre willing to proofread, please lmk!

Thanks!

As an undergraduate student, is it much harder making friends at school if you live private, compared to living at LSE halls (Bankside, Passfield, etc)? I have the opportunity to live at the halls of a private organisation from my home country for relatively cheap. But as an international student i am affraid that this will make it harder to get friends on campus. What is your guys’ take on this?
And if i were to go for a private housing, what would your best tips be to making other undergrad friends at LSE?

Is anyone applying to this course at lse?

I haven’t seen anyone talk about it and wondered how the offer rate can be so low (20%) yet I barely see anyone applying to it

I currently have a room at Sidney Webb House. If anyone is interested feel free to reach out.

Hi everyone! I’m considering applying for the BSc Financial Mathematics and Statistics at LSE and would love to hear from current students or recent graduates.
I’d particularly appreciate insights into the course content, teaching quality, career prospects, and how it compares with other quantitative degrees.
If you’re currently studying this degree or have graduated from it, I’d be grateful for any advice or honest feedback!
Thank you!
