London School of Economics

[anxious2011]

Hey all,

I just got a conditional offer from LSE for their MSc Economics program. Still holding out for other PhD/MPhil programs i have applied to, but not sure how optimistic I am on those, so as each day goes by chances I go to LSE increase.

Anyone out there headed to LSE for Economics, or any other program? Any current students who can shed some light on their experiences so far?

Cheers,

Hey guys, I'm currently at the LSE finishing up a masters. Let me know if you have any questions, would be more than happy to talk about life in London/at the LSE.

All the best.

I got an offer from LSE but I don't know how I'm going to pay for it so I'm hoping some funding will come through otherwise I'm waiting to hear from my other places.

@Mbarcher: I also got an admission offer to LSE for MSc in Environmental Economics and Climate Change, but was unsuccessful in getting funding. I was actually debating whether to go to Columbia, in which I have an offer for MSc in Environmental Science and Policy to start this June. I did not get funding in Columbia, and since it is way more expensive, I may choose LSE instead. Both schools are very good, so the only consideration I really have is money. Right now, Im trying to save some moolah for my living expenses (which I understand, cost of living is very high in Lahdahn!).

@Londontown: This will be my first time to go and live in Lahdahn for about a year, any survival tips and cheap steals (lodging, food, etc) are greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Hi! I also got admitted by this programme. But I am not sure whether to take it or not. What helped you make your decision? Do you know more detailed information about it?

Got an offer today for LSE's MSc in environmental economics and climate change. I also applied to some PhD programs in the US, but after talking to someone at Princeton, I'm pretty sure I'll be accepting LSE's offer. E-mail me if you're also going to be matriculating at LSE in the fall.

I'll be attending in the Fall for an MSc in Media and Communications.

Are there any American students who have advice on what bank to open or credit card to use? I want to avoid as many foreign transaction fees as possible! Thanks!

I just received notice of a conditional offer to the MSc in International Migration and Public Policy.

One of the conditions is an overall mark of B+ or 77. I am a student from Canada.

My GPA for this year is an 8/10 or A-. However, my CGPA (overall degree) is sitting at a 7/10 or B.

Do you think that LSE will retract my offer?

Just got my acceptance today! Anyone else out there from this admissions season?
