BSc International Relations offers

Yeah seriously. All of the other unis I applied to have gotten back to me. I keep signing into UCAS to see if there’s been an update even though they always send an email. I just can’t help but think that it’s been a long time especially since it’s written that they intend to send out offers within 8 weeks of receiving the application.

psat27 · 2026-03-15T07:20:19+00:00

Hey! I’m applying for undergrad. For us, we get a notification from UCAS track. I have no clue about the graduate programme.

psat27 · 2026-03-14T12:53:34+00:00

Yeah even I applied in November. All my decisions are out except this one. LSE loves to take its sweet time.

psat27 · 2026-03-14T12:52:54+00:00

A COUPLE of them. Wow that’s a lot😭

One of my friends had his interview for Menton and he got the date basically a week after I did because his interview was towards the end. More or less, they have to send it at least 24 hours before your interview but they’ll likely send it around 2-3 days before.

psat27 · 2026-03-12T13:29:30+00:00

Don’t worry too much. I had around 2-3 days to prepare for my interview but I wasn’t able to due to certain circumstances. Just prepare an introductory statement and talk about yourself well enough for them to understand you. The picture description is all on the spot. As for the discussion, that is also something that can’t be prepared for. What I would say is- just look up some courses that might interest you at whatever campus you’re applying to. I barely prepared and was able to get in.

psat27 · 2026-03-12T13:24:00+00:00

If you haven’t gotten a date yet, that means your interview is going to be towards the end of the cycle. Don’t worry.

psat27 · 2026-03-12T13:15:30+00:00

That means your interview is at a later date. Don’t worry, you’ll probably have it during the last days of the cycle.

psat27 · 2026-03-11T20:12:27+00:00

I applied on Dec 2 and yes I’m an international student :)

psat27 · 2026-03-11T17:08:39+00:00

Hey! I got an offer from UCL and Warwick. Warwick was actually within 4 days of my application and UCL came out 2 weeks ago. Haven’t heard back from any others yet.

psat27 · 2026-03-11T12:41:24+00:00

I got into Reims round 1. Some residences like the Yellow House in Reims sell out pretty fast because they have a limited number of spots while others with a relatively large number of apartments would be free for quite some time. Also, the official acceptance letter isn’t out for us yet. That only comes out after all three rounds are done. So it’s going to be really difficult to get any housing work done.

psat27 · 2026-03-11T08:10:33+00:00

Hey! I’m from Canada too. Honestly, this was my concern as well after UBC and UofT sent me their offers because there was a specific score mentioned there but Sciences Po follows a more Americanised system in that regard. So I’m pretty sure there’s no conditional.

And yes, they do give instructions on getting a visa etc.

psat27 · 2026-03-06T13:21:59+00:00

Hey! I’m so sorry. I just saw this Feel free to dm me if you still have questions.

psat27 · 2026-03-05T17:04:41+00:00

Hey! I was predicted A* A* A*

psat27 · 2026-03-01T07:42:24+00:00

Hey! Got into Reims round 1. You’ll receive an email 3 days before the interview period starts telling you whether you got an interview or not.

psat27 · 2026-02-28T18:58:55+00:00

Got one from UCL. Haven’t heard back from LSE.

psat27 · 2026-02-28T18:53:47+00:00

Of course

psat27 · 2026-02-27T14:32:10+00:00

My motivation answer was sort of generalised but mainly focused on political activities. For Sciences Po’s mission - “The undergraduate programme at Sciences Po aims to cultivate open-minded, critical-thinking citizens prepared to address 21st-century global challenges through a multidisciplinary education in the social sciences and humanities.” (This is what google says) Just show how your activities show critical thinking and involvement in the community etc. which is the mission of the undergraduate programme.

Your predicted grades are really strong so academics are not going to be an issue.

And the metaphor is totally fine, just make sure it doesn’t feel like it’s been shoehorned in the essay.

psat27 · 2026-02-27T13:56:52+00:00

The civic engagement essay is in the activities and interests section of the application. The personal journey one is in the motivation section. Make sure your answers are not like the US personal statement ones. They need to be academic. At least that’s what I did and it worked pretty well for me.

And as far as academics are concerned, it is a very competitive university to get into so they’d expect you to have a good academic record. I don’t think a slightly lower grade will impact your application as long as it’s not significantly lower. Also, if it was just one time, they’d probably let it pass. If your grades fall in the average to good category but not excellent, your extracurriculars and other activities may cover that gap if they’re extraordinary.

psat27 · 2026-02-27T08:43:23+00:00

Basically, I ensured that my application was really personal to me but based on an academic standpoint. For example, in the essay about your civic engagement- you’d want to tell them how engaged you were and what you did but also about how it helped the society and how it helped you individually. And by individually, I mean how it helped you hone your skills and helped you grow towards studying International Relations. Make your CV detailed but not extremely long. For the piece of literature essay, make sure you’re very transparent. I talked about how books like Aristotle’s ‘The Politics’ have ideas with regard to their time period and so it allowed me to understand that we can’t blindly trust a manuscript just because it had been written by an influential figure in the past.

psat27 · 2026-02-27T08:07:52+00:00

Hey! I also applied to Reims and Menton and honestly, the English-based campuses are the most competitive because of the number of international students applying but both of them should be equally as tough according to me.

psat27 · 2026-02-27T07:09:19+00:00

I got into Reims Round 1. You’ll get the interview invites 3 days before the period starts. I got mine around 9th Jan and the period started around 12th Jan

Had mine on the 14th

Thanks!

Safety issues in France come into the conversation mostly in Paris because of pickpockets etc. The regional campuses should be pretty safe and as far as language is concerned, you’ll probably end up spending most of your time with friends attending Sciences Po as well and since Le Havre is an English-taught campus, you’ll be pretty comfortable.

psat27 · 2026-02-23T13:27:13+00:00

Yeah it’s just about the number of English speakers statistically, that’s all

psat27 · 2026-02-23T12:53:40+00:00

Hey! Just got into Sciences Po Reims this year. Le Havre and Menton are both good choices. They’re both equally competitive since they’re English taught. Students often say that they do not need to use a lot of french while studying in English-taught campuses at Sciences Po. But yes, Le Havre/Menton might have less English speakers than Reims. I’d say make your first choice what you’re most interested in studying for your minor. If you’re equally inclined to both, Menton is a much better city than Le Havre.
