<p>Hello, I graduated from IU with a Bachelors in Accounting and CIS in '06 and I'm now interested in pursuing a career in econ. I had a 3.6 GPA and I'm hoping to do fairly well on the GRE. I'm also taking a calculus class to boost my math. If I sign up for the online diploma for graduates in econ with LSE and then apply for the 1 year masters program, what might my chances of getting in be? I have a pretty non-econ background so far so I was wondering how likely I might get a conditional offer dependent on passing the online diploma with merit. Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>…Anyone?!</p>
<p>It really depends on which program you apply for. If you apply for Economics and they ask for a 1 (which is equivalent to a 3.8) then probably not but if you apply for A&F it will matter on your GRE or GMAT score as well. LSE has a 3.5 GPA cut off point and schools in the UK strictly care about your academics more than anything else (test score and GPA). Also if you are an international student (they consider this by fee class) you will have a higher chance of getting in since you pay a higher fee.</p>
<p>This is all relative. If you are going to apply for LSE apply as early as possible for popular programs such as A&F, Economics, Law, Management, Finance, International Relations and etc since its rolling admissions. Earlier you apply will increase your chances for acceptance 
I hope this helps</p>
