I initially wanted to do a Maths degree at university, but after finding out that its completely different to the style of A-level at university, i went for a degree with most applied maths in this case Physics. I now have an offer from Imperial.
However, during the course of this year, i discovered that LSE's Maths and Econ courses is what i want to do. It too is also quite applied.Right now, i don't have any good plans for a gap year (haven't applied to any jobs etc.) so i am thinking of going to Imperial for a year and applying to LSE from there. I was wondering:
-Will i be disadvantaged because LSE will see that i am at Imperial and will think that i am not committed enough to my subject and they don't look favorably at me because they view me as hijacking someone's place at university ? Do you think its better if i take a gap year instead?
-On my personal statement, will i need to mention why i am making this change?
