Thinking Skills B! That was quite sucks, for me. :tongue:

Yes hope that both of us can receive offer from LSE! :biggrin:

I'm applying for Actuarial Science at Cass, LSE and Heriot-Watt, MMORSE at Warwick and Maths at Cambridge. :wink:

How about you?

At least your prediction grades are awsome :smile:

I'm applying for Actuarial Science at Cass LSE and MMORSE at Warwick too :biggrin:

! Plus I'm applying for Actuarial Science at Kent and Maths with Actuarial Science at Southampton. Did you find any difficulties of writing your personal statement? I did and that is the reason why I choose all Actuarial Science courses excluding MMORSE :frown:

Thanks!

Ah, so there's a very high probability that we might be classmates in future! :biggrin:

Actually I did find difficulties of writing my personal statement, but it was rather rush and I finished it in less than 12 hours including sleeping time for 7 hours that day (due to early deadline set by my college for Cambridge application).

It was my first draft, and I never actually wrote second draft. I've had asked a few of my friends and seniors to proofread my personal statement, and even asked my Assistant Principal of A-Levels programme in my college to check it for me. So I suppose it was alright, and I've sent in my UCAS application few weeks back.

My personal statement involves lots of maths and economics related topics, as well as my personal interest in maths and economics which eventually leads me to the passion I've discovered in Actuarial Science. I also mentioned a few of my participation in maths competitions, although didn't perform relatively well in it.

Your personal statement sounds great :smile:

! I did work on my personal statement for a long time and with lots of aid from my teacher to corrent my grammatical mistakes as my english isn't good enough to write my personal statement independently (My first language is not Englsih) :frown:

.

I did give my personal statement to some of my teachers to proofread it and my personal statement involves my passion of maths and my ambition to contribute the world using my mathematical skill. Furthermore, I did mention I participated some piano competition alothough I didn't do really well (distinction but not top 3). In addition, I am currently not taking Economics and I think it would probably be a disadvantage for me to apply for LSE (I think they like people taking Economics?) :frown:

. Oh, forgot to mention about, I did participate some maths competition but same as you, I didn't do well in it. :frown:

BTW, I need to take IELTS again if I am lucky to get an offer from LSE because I haven't achieved at least 7 in all components :frown:

Sounds can be deceiving at times. :wink:

My first language is not English too, and I tend to do some grammatical errors if I didn't pay enough attention while forming some sentences.

Oh by the way, even if you didn't do well in the piano and maths competition, never tell them that you didn't do well! Just write you do well in it. I doubt they would ever want to know negative things about you in your personal statement. Hmm, maybe it's just me who feel this way.

Speaking of IELTS, I've just taken my IELTS last Saturday and it turned out to be disastrous. Now I'm waiting for result and hope that every component of it can get at least 7.

Ages, LSE are one of the last to send them. You'll hear at lastest by March. I sent mine off last week too but I'm not expecting anything for ages unless they hate me and reject me without needing to think about it :tongue:

Hey, guys! I sent my application for BSc. Economics around 8 days ago (actual 11 days ago, but it has been 8 days since UCAS processed my application), but I still have not received an application acknowledgment. Should I be worried? Maybe give them a call to make sure that they have received or should I be a bit patient? :smile:

Applying for Philosophy and Economics.

The course structure is great and caters to the philosophy portion quite well (obviously econ, too :tongue:

), and it's just a course that I'd love to study!

Predicted A*A*AAA (History, English Lit., Economics, Mathematics, Politics)

I remember when I applied to LSE this time last year it took them a while to send all the confirmations through, they seemed to do them in batches.

I sent my (post A-level) application on the 3rd October to read History
7A*s, 3As = GCSE/iGCSE results
AAAA (in AS English, History, Politics and Latin)
A*A*A*A at A2 (A in Latin)
Other choices = Cambridge, UCL, KCL and Warwick. I probably won't get Cambridge so in the event of getting offers from UCL and the LSE, which would people recommend?
