Sad but expected! The competition is super tough this year

ID received on December 15th. Conditional offer (3.5 gpa)

submitted on Dec 14. conditional on 3.5 gpa.

Havent been waitlisted.just a little anxious that i havent received anything yet. Not many post on international development. Anyone got interview invitation? They arent replying my emails either.

Applied mid-Jan, interviewed end-Jan. To the previous media and comms applicants: have funding decisions been released?

Plan to decline an offer from LSE. Good luck to people on the waitlist :)

This was my first choice, but unfortunately I got rejected

Has anyone else not received an email yet but already has an offer on the LFY portal?

TTPB: I had an interview earlier this month and I didn't hear back. I was told that decisions will be released in mid-March, so I'm expecting it next week. There are 5 funded spots and 5 waitlists for funding coming, out of 54 interviewees. I hope this helps.

Interview mid-January - the decision took 8 weeks

Same here! I also have upcoming deadlines next week, and LSE is my top choice. Please decline your offer if you have better offers. You don't know how much it would mean to me. Thanks.

To the poster below re IR MPhil/PhD at LSE: all interviews of potential admissions were being held last week (first week of march) and that (informal, department-wise) offers would be made by mid-march - at least that's what the panel told me. Funding & Official notification (school-wise) would then take a couple more weeks. So if you weren't interviewed for IR, then chances are you are not getting in this time around. Sorry... :( [although I could be mistaken - admissions are a misterious process]. Good Luck!

People who received offers. My congratulations! Does anyone plan to decline? If so, then, please, decline as soon as possible. I just have a deadline on another offer, while LSE is my top choice. Thank you!

Hi! to the comment about the IR PhD interview: congrats on the interview! I hope it went well. Out of curiosity (and slight panic), how long did it take for you to hear back about an interview? I'm just concerned with how long it's taking to hear back about anything/I haven't seen many posts about IR PhDs yet on here.

I applied in mid-January and interviewed at the end of the month. Waiting for funding announcement to make a decision. Good luck everyone!
