University application didn't arrive! Anything we can do?

DD2 applied to the LSE at the start of November to study Economics. It's her first choice. She's heard nothing from them since, though she has now received offers from all her other choices.

She's just noticed on the LSE website that she should have received an automated email acknowledging her application as soon as they got it. Then a further email saying her application had been downloaded by LSE and was being considered. She should also have been given a log in to their online portal. She's had nothing.

She's contacted LSE but no reply yet. She's heartbroken now, panicking that there was some sort of glitch at LSE and her application never got there. She's in tears.

Does anyone know if schools receive an official receipt confirmation from the universities they send applications to? I can believe they don't, otherwise they're just blindly sending applications off into the ether!

If her school didn't receive any confirmation from LSE and didn't immediately chase it up then I just don't know what on Earth to do (apart from detonating like a small nuclear bomb in the sixth form office).

@TizerorFizz

No one has to decide before May though. A late offer doesn’t alter anything. It just has to be before the deadline. I would not give up on LSE or Durham in March/April!
If you don't think you want the offer though?? Withdrawing means you can firm your two choices and then get your accommodation application in at your first choice (some, not all, places do offer accommodation on a first come, first served basis). Different for OP because she is waiting to hear from her favourite.

Sounds like they have received it. Some of the more popular uni’s take longer. I wouldn’t worry if the email confirmation was received

@peaceanddove
Did your DD get an offer from LSE in the end? My DD is still waiting to hear from LSE (she has also applied to study Economics), despite having applied in October 2021 Sad
