Hi All!

I'm an '06 Harvard grad with not-stellar overall grades (3.48 GPA), decent performance in the economics department as an undergrad (3.63 GPA, v. high thesis and honors general exam grades), and a 1600/6.0 on the GRE. Since graduation I've been working at a fairly wellregarded economic consultancy, and I think I have strong LORs.

What do you guys think my chances of admissions are for the MSc Econ or MSc Finance and Econ at the LSE?

Thanks so much - I'm getting anxious just thinking about this stuff!

I'm in the same boat mate. I applied for Msc finecon and accfin... but i studied at a local university up to masters level with good grades.... which is not harvard though ...... so i guess you stand a good chance! let's keep our fingers crossed

hey man, good luck to you! I think I saw somewhere that the fin dept. has had a ton af apps this year so they're moving slowly, but don't quote me on it.

what branch of the services are you in?

worked in central banking for 3.5 yrs.. For the past year i worked in consultancy..

Problem is that i have an offer from WARWICK Business school for MSC Econ and Fin. and have to give them a reply in 3 weeks PLUS a non-refundable deposit of stg1,000. So i need to have a reply soon

hey, well hopefully we'll hear back sooner than that. any chance Warwick will let you keep them hanging a bit longer?

and do you think it'd be reasonable to get in touch with LSE and mention this constraint to them? maybe the grad office - or the dept even - could just move your app a few slots higher in the pile...?

Yeah.. in fact i contacted the admin office this morning, but didn't get much feedback. They said they will put my message forward to the dept. I'll check about warwick... did u apply for any other programmes besides lse
