Did anyone receive an offer from this program for Sep 2020 intake? I am thinking of applying to this and intend to find out how many offers have they made so far, as they accept applications on a rolling basis.

TBP: Submitted late Jan, received LSE ID on Feb 20th. Good luck

TPB: First of all, congrats!! Can I ask when have you submitted your application?

Expected result. Still kind of disappointed. I will need to take the GRE again.

Was put on the wait list on February 18th. Was accepted the same day my status changed from being on the wait list to bring under review by the department.

Happy. Happy!

TBP: I see your point, but especially if you are European concluding a 3-year Bachelor, be aware of the enormous difference between 1-year and 2-year Masters: namely, the fact that in 1-year Master you will ask LoRs to proffs. that know since basically 3 months, and cannot evaluate you fully (and then push you accordingly). This does not really apply if you already studied at UCL. In the other case, and especially if you want to apply to a PhD later, be aware of this. Hope this helps. Good luck

Happy about the acceptance, but unsure I will accept. The course becomes very expensive over 2 years, especially when considering living costs. Would have preferred 1 year MSc. I also have offers for UCL MSc and Cambridge MPhil - will likely accept UCL as the department is superior to Cambridge.

This seems to be a mistake that a lot of people make. You need to select programs that fit your research interests, not just the best programs. Get advice from current and recent PhDs to get a sense of what worked best for them and apply that knowledge to your process. You'll find that even a back up program that is “worse” might not accept you if your interests are not a good fit for the program.

I feel terrible guys:(( I can't understand it because last year some of my friends got admission from these universities and it seemed my application package was better than them. I wish I could back in the time and apply for some less competitive programs.

Waitlisted for two months and finally admitted. Flattered

Received the official email this morning, around 9AM, London time. So happy! Will likely accept!

To the person below: which programme are you doing at Oxford? I am hesitant between this is the Oxford MPhil in Econ.

Will not accept, going to Oxford. Two recommenders are world-leading, I did RA work for the third.
