I thought you have decided on LSE ? When must you make your decision by?
LSE - great reputation, everyone knows LSE.

For Warwick- not many people (generally around the globe) know of Warwick although it has been increasing in terms of profile.
- great course structure. In fact a Bachelor's degree at Warwick gives you Level 1 CFA; which is a course all financiers should take during the course of their work.

Another point, is how much you like or dislike to live in London
A friend of mine chose Warwick last year because its course structure is much better than LSE.
Most people will choose LSE I presume because of its reputation.
In Asia, it's like 'WoW' to get into LSE.

BTW- do you know if there are many rejects for Warwick A/F? I have been waiting since early Dec and getting a bit worried as didn't think that Warwick is one that will take that long.

Yea I know that I have no chance at LSE. I just want to get into either warwick or Bristol. But this year its really competitve and no one knows whether wariwck will be on the ucas extra or not. God bless me!


Did you manage to get offer from bath? Both warwick and lse are on extra this year. But i think its really risky to reject your offers and apply through extra again for the same universities that reject you . Try asking for feedback first on the rejections and see if there is something that could be rectified?

I find it really strang. Bath, Bristol and Exter do not have Extra this year. There is no vacancy for them. But warwic and LSE has. My only guess is that theae two unis are fussy in choosing their candidates while the rest may just offer candidates if they meet the requirements.

I just checked and Warwick is indeed in Extra, as it was last year. However LSE is not since the course doesn't have an X next to it.

I just had a look. LSE is not available now. It was when UCAS opened for Extras recently. I saw athread that mentioned it and had a look. Double checked as i didnt believe it. But it was there. Made me very curious as the number of applicants is already v high there. Only reason i can think of is that they are only looking for applicants that they want regardless of grades as long as basic grade requiements are met and willing to reject candidates even with high predicted grades if they are not what LSE wants. Defintely closed off v quickly

Wonder if having warwick in extra is good for me esp if i hadnt receive an offer from them.does that mean more competition?
Guys please advise me!
I have the following offers:

MSc Accounting Finance & Management - University of Bristol
MSc Accounting & Finance- University of Durham.

I am damn confused about which one to choose, both are well reputed and highly ranked. Please advise about which Uni has greater global career prospects? Which programme should i opt for?
