The LSE program website does not mention this explicitily.
But I had gone for a LSE student recruitment meet where they did mention they consider applicants for other courses(apart from their preferences) in given circumstances(??).
This is vague and does not give a clear answer to your question.

Ne one else here know ne thing bout this?

Ahh, I have read about someone who applied for the MRes/PhD but was asked to enter an MSc program first/instead. That's one instance.

Hey guys,

I just got this an email from LSE today, subject "How Do I...contact LSE Graduate Admissions?". It goes into details about how to check the status of my application and how to contact the admissions office.

Then, when I checked my "LSE for you" application status page, I see my status has changed to this:

A decision has been made on this choice and is being processed. Processing involves checking by a senior member of staff, and occasionally verification of one or more details by your Department. Most decisions will be finalised and appear here within one or two working days (remember to allow for weekends!), however if we require clarification from the Department your status will remain unchanged for longer periods. No further information is available until all checks have been completed, and the decision will be posted here first.

I'm so nervous! What and/or how can I read into this? What does this mean? Is any one else getting some sort of similiar status update from LSE?

I applied for:
(1) 2-yr EME
(2) 2-yr Econ

FYI, I submitted my online application on January 18.

With the caveat that there are no guarantees, it seems like everyone who ever got that message always ended up getting in.... (people who are rejected appear to find out immediately)

[mysherona]

That's great, rcwlhk. I think someone else got that message a few weeks ago then eventually got admitted.

Just to check again, is there anyone else who applied in December but hasn't gotten a response from LSE?

[rcwlhk]

Wow! I'll hold on to my shirts until the final "YES" from LSE! Thanks again for the help guys!

I'll keep all of you updated (successful or not).
