Dear all,

Does anyone know whether we can put a work supervisor as a referee (say for instance a partner in a law firm who's an LSE alumni) or do they require strictly academic referees?

Thanks in advence!

You could. I did that last time and got accepted. My application was for 2014/2015.

Thank you. How much work experience did you have by then? I'm wondering if they only accept professional references from people who had graduated a long time ago (which is not my case).

LSE's Supporting Documents page has the details on when it's OK to submit a professional reference.

Graduated after Jan 2020/ Current student: Academic references only

Graduated before Jan 2020: One professional reference accepted, preferably most recent employer

Graduated before Jan 2018: Two professional references accepted if you can't provide academic references.

They do re-state that it's in the applicant's interest to nominate academic referees wherever possible. I can't seem to paste the link into this box, but if you go to the LLM page, under "Assessing your Application" there is a link to "See further information on supporting documents".

Hi, I did see this on the admissions page, but it is no longer there since the applications opened. I sent in a query through their form, but no response. I want to submit one professional and one academic reference, I wonder if I should just go ahead and do that anyway

Hi guys!

Is anyone acquainted with the theory of dropping transcripts? According to applicants from last year, whoever's transcript fell below their references - received offers in January. Does anyone know if this theory is true? How does it look in your case?

The order shall thus be like: Administration fee - Passed Check

Statement of academic purpose - Received

CV / Resume - Received

First reference - Passed Check

Second reference - Passed Check

Transcript Copy - Received

Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know whether or not we can submit our application before our last referee has submitted their reference? One of my professor is taking awhile to submit their reference despite my best efforts in reminding him and I have not yet submitted my application to this day.

Yes you can submit your application. I submitted my application before receiving both of my references. Your application won't be considered complete and processed by LSE admissions until you receive your second reference, but it can definitely be submitted. Hope that helps.
