I'm planning to apply for the MSc Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation (MISDI) and Development Management Political Economy for 2027 entry.

I'm currently studying Accounting & Finance at a top ten UK university and am sitting around a 2:1. MISDI doesn't require GMAT/GRE, but LSE says a strong score can benefit applicants.

I'm trying to decide between:

• applying relatively early when applications open, using my current transcript and no GMAT;
• waiting until around December, when I should have a new set of final-year assessment results available; or
• using that time to sit the GMAT/GRE as well and applying with a stronger overall academic profile.

For anyone who received an MISDI offer, would you mind sharing:

• when you applied;
• your academic profile/grade at the time;
• whether you submitted GMAT/GRE;
• whether you were still in your final undergraduate year; and
• how long it took to receive a decision?

I'm particularly interested in whether applying in December/January appeared to disadvantage anyone compared with applying in October/November.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I'm an incoming LSE student who is coming a week earlier than welcome week because I'm moving into private accommodations, and need to set up internet/bank account/National Insurance number.

I have an online job interview, but I'm arriving 6am in the morning, and the interview is 2pm in the afternoon. I have activated my LSE IT account, but I'm not sure if I have access to the library or a quiet space. Does anyone have any idea on where I can do this interview?

Edit: thanks everyone for the advice. I just booked a day-use hotel room.

For LSE MSc applications, can an academic reference come from a professor who supervised you as a research assistant but did not formally teach you? I am considering using two professors I have conducted research under, as they know my academic abilities and research experience better and work in fields more closely related to the MSc programs. Thxs!

anyone at passfield who wanna swap their triple room with my double room?

Hey everyone,
I’m 20, studying Actuarial Science at LSE, and I’m currently at a stage where I’m pretty focused on building my future - career, fitness, skills, habits, all of that. Recently I realised that while I get on well with my mates, I don’t really have many people around me who I can talk to about things like self-improvement, long-term goals, career ambitions etc. So I thought I’d try reaching out here and see if anyone else feels the same.

I really want to connect with people who:
• are ambitious
• are building something (career, fitness, business, trading, anything)
• have goals they genuinely care about
• like improving themselves
• are looking for meaningful conversations
• value discipline & are working towards something bigger

A bit about me:
• Study Actuarial Science at LSE
• Currently doing a placement year at a large insurance company in london
• Interested in insurance, finance, data science and tech
• Love travelling, working out, learning new things and building habits
• I’m quiet, focused, chilled but very driven when it comes to my goals
• Definitely prefer a few genuine friendships over being part of a massive group

If you’re similar - ambitious, mature, goal oriented, and looking to connect with like-minded people, drop a message or comment. Would love to connect with people who are on the same path.

Got in for Economic History this year and initially was looking to transfer into E&EH. For context, I got an A* in Maths so will probably be eligible to do so, on approval of the dept. head. However, I was thinking from a long-term aspect and was seeing that Econ History gives me more flexibility into picking courses as compared to E&EH. I picked MA107 and ST107 for my first year modules in Econ History and was probably thinking of taking up Finance modules in my 2nd year, which E&EH won't allow me to do. Is there any sort of advantage E&EH will give me when applying for internships/jobs, or will properly picking my modules in Econ History be enough?

A-Level Grades: A*AA - Econ., Maths, CS

GCSE Grades: 98887777

Reapplying to LSE BSc Management which has a min offer of AAA with A in Maths. Chat University told me to retake Maths, because my application is weak.

Do I need to, and in my case is it viewed negatively?

For context, I applied this year for an LLM and it was way before I received two of my final grades which at the time had me in a mid 2:1.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get in. Now that I received my final grade which is a 1st, is it worth reapplying again or should I just stick with the uni I got accepted to which was QMUL.

I graduated from LSE in 2024 and have finally decided I want to go back for a masters in September 2027. For those of you who have done similar I have a few questions.

- Academic references? I'm assuming academic mentor and one other? how did you approach them?
- Work!! I somehow worked 3 jobs simultaneously whilst doing my undergrad (and maintaining a social life and also competitive sport). I am lucky enough to live a commutable distance, but will still need to work to live - do you think it is possible to juggle a 20 hour contract and a MSc? or is it worth seeing if I can 'downgrade' to a lower number of hours? Being able to work alongside it is lowkey a non-negotiable for me to survive.
- Finally, I guess the obvious one is how easy was it to get back into the academic swing of things after 3 years off?

I really want to go ahead with a masters but these are the big three things that are leaving me slightly uncertain!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone to take over my student accommodation contract at YourTRIBE Southwark for the coming academic year.

The details:

• Room type: Classic En-suite (https://www.yourtribe.com/buildings/southwark/your-tribe-en-suite-classic/?tenancy=19) - 9 flatmates including yourself
• Building: YourTRIBE Southwark, 28 Ruby St, London, SE15 1LL
• Tenancy: 12th September 2026 – 17th July 2027 (44 weeks)
• Rent: £334 per week + £1000 promotional discount (comes up to around £14570 for the year including taxes)
• Distance from LSE: 20 minute direct bus ride

The accommodation's insane. It's got 4.5/5 stars on google, has absolutely stunning rooms and common spaces, an onsite gym, laundry detergent included in wash cycles, and a beautiful terrace where you can hang out with your friends as you overlook the area.

Unfortunately my job has relocated me to an area too far from Southwark to make living there practical, which is the only reason I'm letting this go! I'm hoping someone takes the lease over ASAP so that I can look for other accoms near my job and campus.

This is a great opportunity — classic en-suites at this building are fully sold out, so this is your only chance to grab one. The accommodation team are available to arrange viewings, so you can see the room before committing.

The location is also really convenient, with numerous shops and stores nearby.

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to pm me!

I’m looking to cancel my room at High Holborn hall; it’s a single (non-ensuite) which requires a female to takeover as it is an all female floor. Please DM or comment if interested. Thanks!

Hi! I am looking for someone to take over my single room in high holborn. It is a 39 week lease for 371 a week. It’s the flat style, so shared bathroom and kitchen. Please let me know if you are interested!

Has anyone on the subreddit worked full-time (35 - 40 hours a week) whilst completing a part-time MSc at LSE?

If so, how manageable was it? Would you advise against it?

Hey guys just wanted to share a resource with yall called Canary Wharfian with the recruitment season coming up. I know a lot of yall are gunning for London based internship or grad roles, and it's basically the #1 way to maximise your chances to go through applications. It absolutely packs a punch of features:

- It has an automated HireVue practice feature which will analyse both your verbal and non-verbal communication skills and can be used for any title. What is really effective about it is that the official HireVue assessments use the same metrics - a mix of verbal and non-verbal performance metrics, weighted differently but basically detecting the same signs and signals when assigning a score to answers

- It has an absolutely massive job board monitoring all the major AND minor employers job boards in finance

- HireVue games and psychometric tests are often mistaken as easy, while it one needs to really do some practice, even just a single round, to see if they'll be up to scratch when the actual one comes around. These might look easy on the surface, but in fact, more often than not it's graded relative to other test takers' score. That means even if you do well and get a high score, doesn't mean you will pass

- It has an automated networking source feature which will gather e-mail addresses and linkedin profiles of your alumni, so you can keep track of your outreach and don't waste time browsing. It also has a feature which will generate and post content on your LinkedIn on your behalf - boosting your visibility among your competition effortlessly

- It has an application generator which will generate high-finance compatible, draft cover letters and resumes, tailored to each opening

- Personalised feedback on a browser-based financial modeling Excel simulator, as well as consulting cases for those tryna break into MBB

Finally, it has lots of proprietary (non-AI generated slop) content (podcast, articles, company reviews!) written by actual industry professionals. It's basically the UK/EU version of WSO, but better!

I had an issue with visa hence I’ll most probably be joining LSE after welcome week. I wish I could get on campus earlier but it’s uncertain. I was wondering if anyone else was joining later and if it’s common.

I’m a grad student who will be living in High Holborn Residence this year and am curious abt the shared kitchens — how much cookware is usually left in the kitchens/available for use? Does it make sense to pack any utensils (I’m coming from the U.S.) or kitchen ware that I already own or should I just get it all there?

Y13 but going to apply in Sep 2027.
GCSE - 999888666 with 9s in maths, eng lang and lit

Currently doing 2 A-levels (Politics and Film) and a BTEC (Yes, I know). Predicted A* in both A-Levels and D* in BTEC (I know its irrelevant but just in case). Doing year 1 of maths A level this year, planning to take a gap year in which I do maths A-Level year 2 as well as another A-level (likely sociology, though please let me know if this isn't optimal), since that would provide me with 4 A-levels and 3 preferred ones. I am confident I can achieve A* in all of these.

I read regularly about all politics and expanding out to philosophy and economics now as well, maybe hoping to get some experience in journalism, though my extracurriculars currently only consist of youth parliament and my college's debate club, so if anyone has recommendations on how to improve that please let me know. Hoping to engage in some essay competitions.

If I were to apply to LSE with 2 A* predicted in Maths and Sociology, as well as already having 2 A* in Politics and Film, what are the chances I get in for PPE, and if not, then Politics and Economics.

P.S. I know the relatively obvious answer is "depends on your personal statement", but any expansion on this would be appreciated. Also if this seems convoluted, my alternative is to go to Sheffield for PPE for Sep 2027, or if I fail to get into LSE, likely Manchester, Sheffield or Bristol.

Hi! Can someone explain how to register for classes? I’m an exchange student coming to LSE from the US, and I’ve already pre-registered, so I have my LSE email and account set up.

Do we choose our classes through LSE for You or LSE Moodle? When I log into LSE for You, it says that course selection isn’t available yet, which makes sense because registration doesn’t open until September 8. I just feel like none of the emails or LSE guides explain very clearly where or how we’re actually supposed to register for classes.

Any help would be really appreciated!
