Is it possible to get into LSE by the entrance exam?
I am a secondary student from Hong Kong,
as the educational system in Hong Kong has reformed,
the exams at F.5 and F.7 (same as GCSE and GCE) are now even combined together,
as another exam at F.6, so I won't have any qualification equivalent to GCE in UK
before I enter university.
As I have heard that LSE offer an entrance exam to the oversea applicants,
so can I take the exam to replace the GCE result? (as I won't have any qualification equivalent to it)
Or the entrance exam is just simply replace the interview for applicants with GCE?
As a Hong Kong student, actually, what should I do to get into LSE? -
Re: Is it possible to get into LSE by the entrance exam?From what I know about the entrance exam (I might be totally wrong), it is given as a supplement to those individuals who don't have qualifications that are as well-known as, say, A-Levels or the IB. From that, it seems like you could possibly qualify to take the entrance exam, but I would recommend emailing the school and asking them about your specific case to see what they say.(Original post by efl)
