r/LSE

I'm talking only for undergraduate degrees. Any rejections today?

if further maths is taken as your fourth alevel, would they ask for a specific grade in it? (im applying Econ and phil)

Hi everybody, I'm looking to apply to several LSE masters (finance, finance and economics and risk and finance), I have a 28.7/30 GPA from a non target uni in italy, besides a 336 on the GRE 166V 170Q.

Regarding internships I spent 3 months as a wealth management analyst and 6 months as a junior trader in a speculative gas trading desk. do you think I have any chance?

thank you so much

Hey everyone,

I’m considering applying to the MSc Economic Policy for International Development at the London School of Economics, and I’d really appreciate some honest advice.

I’m from Pakistan with a bachelor’s in International Relations, and this would be a self-funded degree for me, so the investment is quite significant.

My goals are to build a strong understanding of the global economy, work at the intersection of policy and business, and eventually move into advisory or policy roles while also growing my own business ventures.

For those who have done this program or know about it:

• Is it worth it in terms of ROI (career opportunities, exposure, network)?
• How valuable is it for someone coming from a non-economics background like IR?
• Does it actually help in breaking into policy, consulting, or international organizations?

I’d really appreciate honest, realistic feedback—especially from people who’ve taken a similar path or are from developing countries.

Thanks in advance!
