Conversation Between richmnh and onlyskin

I'm sorry but I can't really remember, it's 2 years ago that I wrote it now! I think I started off with why I wanted to study Pol/Phil..

How did you do your intro?
And yeah I got a placement with an MP as well

ummm I talked about my extra-curricular stuff (of which there is a wide variety) my appropriate work experience (placement with an MP in Westminster), why I wanted to do Pol/Phil and which areas of each particularly interested me, what I thought I might want to do with my degree, and I think I also talked about a few books I'd read. whatever you do, don't put quotes in your PS!

What kind of stuff did you write about in your Personal Statement?

Then definitely go for it! Make sure you have a good personal statement, they just want to see that you're passionate about your subject(s). People that have AAAAA at AS level get rejected from LSE, whereas people like me get in, so give it a go. At the end of the day, it's only one of five choices, and if you really want to go, then apply! Feel free to ask me if you have any other question about the application, and I'm moving into halls this weekend so let me know if you ever want to know anything about LSE itself.

I got AABB.

It depends what you mean by bad grades to be honest, obviously the better your grades are, the better your chance is. I had AABB at AS level, which isn't excellent, but they put a lot of emphasis on personal statements etc.

Hello, through a thread a found that you were taking "Politics and Philosophy" at LSE, I'm very interested in the course. I just wanted to ask, is there any chance of making it at LSE with bad AS grades?
