New: Fall 2008 Official Acceptances/rejections

<p>London School of Economics - MSc, Politics and Communication - ACCEPTED! :) Also invited to apply for special graduate funding! weeeee</p>

<p>Can you all post your undergrad schools, stats..?</p>

<p>Hey nobleguy, congratulations! I was also accepted to LSE earlier this week! Different program, though:</p>

<p>London School of Economics - MSc Political Economy of Late Development</p>

<p>No funding, though, but I hear that's common for American applicants...</p>

<p>Sure: top 50 undergrad, one year spent at Sciences Po in Paris (near-fluency in French as a result). 3.5 undergrad GPA, 3.9 in major (political science and international affairs). 650 V, 770 Q, 5.5 AW on the GRE. 1.5 years work experience in media, primarily in managing editorial at a large US book publisher.</p>

<p>Awesome Decidedfactor! Are you gonna go? I definitely am.</p>

<p>So they didnt invite you to apply for special graduate funding at all? I'm wondering how special this thing is that I got, and what my award will be. Keeping my fingers crossed.</p>

<p>Stats: UCLA, 3.8GPA, Polisci/Comm double major, lots of research/leadership stuff</p>

<p>I applied to seven other schools, so waiting to hear from those around early/mid March. It's one of my top choices, but not one of my very top. But I'm very happy and excited to have gotten in!</p>

<p>No, I figure it has to do with the fact that I barely met the entry requirements (3.5+ GPA). I had a strong essay and LOR, though, so I think that helped me get in (applying early couldn't have hurt, either). But I imagine your acceptance was a step up from mine, if you were invited to apply for special graduate funding. Though I'm glad my acceptance was unconditional, at least.</p>

<p>Did you apply to any other programs?</p>

<p>I submitted my GT application on 12/14, and my LORs came in the next day. I'm doing my B.S. at GT, so I probably got notified earlier than other people.</p>

<p>Congratulations once more!</p>

<p>My last LOR was put in on 10th Jan. I seem to have everything in but it still says application incomplete on the status page :(</p>

<p>I'd also like to know if someone has the answer to amc85's question. Heard from Princeton Chemistry, anyone?</p>

<p>guyz pls include ur profiles</p>

<p>friend heard from Princeton Chemistry. That was 3 weeks ago.</p>

<p>I have applied
PENN--Mechanical Engineering
Columbia--Mechanical Engineering
Stanford--Chemical Engineering
Yale--Chemical Engineering
WUSTL--Chemical Engineering
UCSB--Chemical Engineering</p>

<p>So far, has anyone heard anything about these programmes? Thanks,</p>

<p>I applied to UCSB for Chemical Engineering too, but I haven't heard anything yet.</p>
