Ecocentric Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hey guys... Most of the people here seem to be PhD applicants, I'm sure there are master's applicants as well. So thought I'd start a thread for master's admit/reject decisions. Here goes.. LSE MSc EME: Reeeeeeject! :doh: (aww come on) Found out a week back from the 'LSE For You' website. Profile:http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/75333-roll-call-fall-2007-applicants-8.html Eargerly waiting for the rest of the schools..

mysherona Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think "The Decisions Thread" that's stickied on top will serve the purpose. But while we're on the topic, did you apply for the 1- or 2-year EME? Are they now considering your second choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecocentric Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think "The Decisions Thread" that's stickied on top will serve the purpose. But while we're on the topic, did you apply for the 1- or 2-year EME? Are they now considering your second choice? Thought the Stickied thread was a clutter of both PhD and Master's posts. Thought a thread like this would give more clarity to the master's admissions. Anyways.. Applied for the one year course. Thought I had a decent math background, but a reject. Oh well.

Ecocentric Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 oh forgot to answer your other question... I dint give a second choice I wanted to do the 1yr EME or nothing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysherona Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I see... Which other master's programs are you applying to? Oh, and when did you complete your LSE application? I sent mine in on Dec 18 and still no word. I put in the 1-year EME as my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecocentric Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 The rest of the masters programs are at NYU, BU, Duke, Michigan, UIUC.. thats it. Which other master's programs have you applied to? and what is your 2nd preference at LSE? I applied on Dec 24th.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckykatt Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yay, Master's thread! ;) I've applied for master's in econ, math, and stats at a local school and I'm eagerly awaiting the results... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebuchadrezzar Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 hey ecocentric, when did you applied to the eme programme? (I mean when was the documentation complete) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysherona Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 My 2nd preference is the 1-year MSC in Econ. I also applied for the MPhil programs at Oxford and Cambridge. Does anyone know if LSE automatically considers you for the 2-year routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecocentric Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 hey ecocentric, when did you applied to the eme programme? (I mean when was the documentation complete) I got the confirmation mail on Jan 7th. Which are your 1st n 2nd preferences at LSE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecocentric Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Does anyone know if LSE automatically considers you for the 2-year routes? 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysherona Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcwlhk Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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.

polkaparty Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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? 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysherona Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwlhk Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebuchadrezzar Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 yes mysherona, i applied on dec. 11, still no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwlhk Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 One working / business day has gone by --- still no change from the "A decision has been made on this choice" status. But still keeping optimistic! :tup::grad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EconMsGiggle Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I also applied the MSc in Economics (2 yr programme) but don't have received anything yet.... I'm so nervous... Only UIUC mailed me good news.... Now... My applied courses are all quiet... NYU, UMich, Duke --- MA in Economics UMN-TC, Cornell --- MS in Applied Economics LSE --- MSc in Economics (2yr Programme) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYU, UMich, Duke --- MA in Economics UMN-TC, Cornell --- MS in Applied Economics LSE --- MSc in Economics (2yr Programme) I got an admit to UIUC too on Feb 7th. EconMsGiggle, I've applied to almost the same places except UMN-TC and Cornell. Have you heard anything from NYU, Duke, Umich? And when did you get your UIUC admit?

NYU, UMich, Duke --- MA in Economics UMN-TC, Cornell --- MS in Applied Economics LSE --- MSc in Economics (2yr Programme) It seems like the Cornell AEM program is apparently not a popular choice. Without us, I have found only one other applicant to the program. I wonder why........ :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwlhk Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm in! LSE --- MSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics (2yr) As expected, no graduate merit award (I figured this expectation was realistic by reading previous TM'ers post on MSc's in LSE). Thanks a lot guys for all your help! Best of luck to you all with the admissions process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
