I was accepted by LSE MPA 2017-18 in early February, but there's no news about funding. Still waiting for the results of other universities.

Wish everyone good luck!

Congrats on your LSE MPA admission. I think you are the first candidate on this forum. The LSE scholarship decision takes a while based on previous posts.

Thank you very much.  Still anxiously waiting for Oxbridge.

I also got accepted to the LSE MPA...and I am also waiting for Oxfbridge..a bit pessimistic about Cambridge though, they accept only 20 students out of approximately 300 :-)

Congratulations, @OxfordApplicant. It's true that Cambridge is very competitive. What is your status in Camsis? Mine is still "under consideration by department".

 Have you heard anything from Oxford yet?

Awaiting consideration by Department -- From Oxford we will hear the 17th of March according to their blog :-) To be honest I am not even sure whether I would take Cambridge over LSE, the program at Cambridge is relatively new and in terms of faculty/course options LSE seems to have a slighty comparative advantage. Oxford is your first pick as well?

Yep. Hope we could make it. Good luck!

Got accepted to LSE MPA but they say I have no funding through the school. I find it strange since I applied with more almost 6 years of relevant experience while I actually know fresh graduates got full scholarship. I have no idea what to think of this.

LSE is not that famous for being generous :/

Thanks for replying. I did speak to their funding support and I somehow get a sense that they fair better in being generous in comparison to the US schools atleast. Any pointers would be well appreciated. 

Thank you

Hi all--

Any chance anyone here applied for the LSE MPA for fall 2018? I was accepted a few weeks ago and am trying to see how this program compares to other policy programs in the U.S. (i.e. HKS/Berkeley/Harris). I can't seem to find a lot of info on the program. Also, does anyone know if there's any potential to receive any scholarships for this?

Hi- I was also admitted for LSE MPA. Considering it against Berkeley, Tufts, and Columbia. I've heard good things, but as a US citizen, I'm unsure about the networking and finding a job from the UK. I applied for scholarship money but am not expecting much (if any).

Agreed--I applied but am not expecting anything. We don't hear about scholarship money until July, correct?

I actually talked to one alum of the program (from the States). She only had positive things to say about the program and didn't mention anything about problems with finding a job--now works for the US government. She mentioned that employers look at the degree like an MPP.
