Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is “window”: this programme depends on a JJ/WBGSP window, not on a rolling application. The right order is to secure the LSE application first, because the two referees and the required documents are the real bottleneck. If your English is not already at the required level, that is the point to secure first, because it affects the rest more than any expectation about the scholarship. Prepare the LSE admissions file now, then watch for the official opening of Window #2.
