Is Warwick's MMORSE out of my league?

Ok, thanks. I'm not sure if I will go for it - I am keeping on 4 A Levels so I have a lot of work on and I am also involved in a lot of extra - curricular things, would Warwick be likely to take those into account as well?

I mean things like Gold Duke of Ed, Music (Grace 8 in 2 instruments), Volunteering etc.

They could be a deciding factor, yes, but they can't make up for poor grades (I don't know yours so not saying they are poor just trying to show that ECs aren't that important) they can set you apart from candidates with similar grades.

I have 4A's at AS and an A* already at A level maths (although not cashed in), so I hope I'm up there - I know other students will have grades like that as well though but I've done as well I could possibly do so I can only hope The only thing I feel might put me down a little is my subjects (maths, fm, spanish, history)... Spanish & History don't really have a lot to do with the course, although history does have the economical side, and economics is not available as a subject at my school, so I couldn't have done it anyway.

Because I think it's a great course

And no I don't. At first I did admittedly, but I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. But by now I learned to love metrics and what better for that than EME at LSE?

That's interesting I was just having a debate of Warwick vs LSE, did you turn down LSE for Warwick?

Reading more about Warwick is actually making me favour it over LSE.

Although they're both really good and I'd be lucky to go to any.

Hi, guys

Basically I am gonna be predicted A*A*A in maths, further maths and english literature and achieved 2 A's, 6 B's and a C at GCSE. Will this be enough for MORSE? Also will be taking STEP and AEA. My main gripe is the fact that I'll be applying with a personal statement for pure maths, is that alright? Also have got 100% for all core modules for maths, will this be looked at? And if I recieve the A*AAa offer then I will be re-sitting my 'c' in economics.

Yes to the grades.
Yes to the PS - they accept PS from Maths, Econ and Stats backgrounds as it is a varied course.
Grades in modules - only if you put those grades down/are mentioned in the PS or reference.
You will most likely receive the A*AAa offer.

Thread's also gonna be merged with this one. Might be useful reading.

OK thanks. Do you reckon it's likely to recieve an offer with my grades?

With a good PS and references, yes.

However I should add that the Stats department targeted only 65 places this year from students with Home/EU backgrounds. Should also add that there are 450 applications for these 65 places.

That's similar ratio to the 1700 Home/EU applicants for 240 places in Maths, and Maths makes offers to 93% of applicants (but less than a third who firm make the offer)

So for MORSE I wouldn't expect the offer rate to be that high - perhaps they make offers to around 50% of applicants (but to be honest I can't really tell).

Thanks, mate. But surely if they target 50%, then they must reject automatically those who do not meet the requirements? I'll try to make an excellent PS and hopefully get an offer.

Thanks.

Your main A2 levels exceed the requirements - those are the once they care about. And there isn't an automatic rejection filter - they will at least print out your application and have a look at it. And with the A*A*A that will stand out they will consider it seriously.

LSE offer a yes, no, maybe system - they have rejection Fridays and offer Fridays. Each week they either sift through applications they want to reject or sift through applications they want to offer. Warwick will have a similar system.

Do you have any idea how many places there are L100 economics? Just wondering how many people I will be studying with.

Last year there were 2567 Home/EU applicants for Economics courses or EPAIS and 1410 Overseas applicants. [2101 and 1141 for 3 year Econ courses and 466 and 269 for EPAIS].

Number of entrants:
142 Home/EU and 117 Overseas for standard 3 year Econ courses
22 Home/EU and 18 Overseas for EPAIS.
164 Home/EU and 135 Overseas total in Econ.

Target for Home/EU is 130 last year overshot by 34.
