Submitted application with referee letters within a week when application opened, got my results in December. Unlikely to get any financial support.

To the person who wrote, "0 Jun 2016 report spam Yes, that's my real GPA. Low, low, low overall (with a good reason & a high departmental GPA) but with a solid personal statement and recommendations. Applied in late March. Absolutely thrilled to be accepted, but may have to defer until next year." Can you let us know what your GPA is in the notes? I'm unable to see it and am dying to know. I also have a low GPA from undergrad and am considering LSE for a masters in 2017. However, I have impressive work experience, would have great recs, and a solid essay.

applied in early March, waited for 3 months

applied in early March, waited for 2 months

Put in a lot of effort into the cover letter and got very good academic references. Had a relatively weak first degree (Mechanical Engineering) but with great grades.

Gave No specific reason.Rejected without explanation Disappointed!

This was my first choice and the rejection might have been that my first degree was a natural science. Awaiting for second choice - fingers crossed!

got scholarship covering the full tuition

Many internships

Waited for about 10 weeks.

First choice rejected, second choice program currently under consideration.

By the time my references uploaded their letter all places had been taken.

I was rejected from my first choice (MSc Gender on 11/04), but was accepted for my second choice :) I have a weak 2:1 LLB degree, so there is hope out there!

CONDITIONAL OFFER: REQUIRED TO OBTAIN MY DEGREE WITH A MIN OF 3.5 GPA.

Applied mid-November. Rejected for MSc EME on 20th Feb & MSc Economics on 13th April.

I had very good grades (currently studying PPE in Italy), two work experiences, and two exchange programs (one during high school, one during university). I guessed what really made the difference though was the Personal Statement, as I'm pretty sure everybody applying to LSE has good grades etc. I applied on March 1, received my personal ID on March 15, and I was accepted on April 1. Weirdly enough I saw I was made an offer on LSE4U but did not receive an email yet. I'm not the first one experiencing this problem.
