Hi Sidharth! Don’t know if I am spamming unnecessarily but I am a little desperate. I have applied to LSE this year for the 2yr MSc in Econ and would be happy if you could give any advise or info. I am a Mech engg with a B.Tech fom IIT Madras with GPA of 8.99/10. I graduated in 2005 and have been working with Hindustan Unilever Limited since then. My GRE score is 800Q, 710V and 5A. What do you think my chances are? And any advise on funding will be very helpful. I am this desperate because I don’t have any contacts in the LSE and have no idea of what kind of people they accept and what kind of finances I will need to organise. Will be grateful if you could help.
Anand.
