Hi everybody.

I was admitted to LSE last year, submitted a deferral request (denied) and reinstated my application for the next year.

Given that last year I applied really late (mid March), I was wondering when should I expect the first decisions from LSE to come out this time, according to this year's experience.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I've understood that you should expect a decision within 8 weeks of submission of your application (including references.)

I'm sorry, I just realised that I didn't answer your question at all. The online application became available on October 11th, so if your application is assessed right away, then I imagine you shouldn't start biting your nails until mid-December.

Thank you very much, Poppet!

I believe that they admission team may be able to reach decision before a period of 8 weeks after completion of your application. I applied last year, got my application completed on late January (i.e. both letter of recommendation sent), and it took them one and a half month to send me the decision. This is despite the fact that I was told that January is the busiest time as the uni should have receive plenty of applications piling up during Christmas and New Year holidays.

Thank you very much, husky!
