I FAIL to meet the english requirement of LSE, will I still have a chance?

Oh right hopefully I get a good score too then. Hmm that's tough you'll have to email or call the university if they'll allow you even if you missed the mark by 0.5 because they're really strict. I took toefl earlier where I needed 100 and only got 97 and they said they still wouldn't accept me because the basic requirement is given there for a reason. So I really don't know sorry.. You'll have to ask the uni if they will allow you
I'm from India btw !

Ohh right!! Thanks for your advice!
Btw I am technically from India too (Mumbai) but brought up in Bangkok!
Goodluck with your IELTS score and I hope you get into the university you wish to go to mate..Goodluck!

I think this ultra-strict english requirement is stupid to say the least.
I'm in the same situation but with UCL (graduate degree). I took the TOEFL and scored above the minimum for each section, but overall I scored only 4 points below the minimum required. Guys...WTF....I mean, they selected you from a competitive pool of applicants considering your grades, your honors, and all that stuff, and finally they decided that you would be a perfect student for its programme. I understand that proficiency in english is important since you'll be breathing english for all the time that your programme lasts. For this, they have to ask you some minimum level of english proficiency. However, they should also apply some level of criteria when an applicant like you and me, filtered before by themselves, don't get exactly the minimum that they ask for just a marginal difference.
I took a look to other top universities to see what level of english they ask for and I was impressed by some universities like Harvard, Berkeley, Princeton and many other that ask for english proficiency levels much lesser than top UK universities. For example, the three mentioned before set a minimum between 80 and 90 in TOEFL which translates to a 6.0 or 6.5 in IELTS, and we are talking about highly prestigious institutions.

Thanks man you too!

Guys, I really need help. My offer still remain as conditional though I failed my IELTS. Do I still have a chance of getting an unconditional offer from LSE?

One reason US universities are less strict is that if you go there you need to take English classes and pass a writing requirement. The broader requirements mean you have more time before hitting core courses in the degree.

Hey guys

just got a conditional offer for the LSE. I took the toefl exam a few days ago, here's my score :

Overall : 106
R 29
S 29
W25
L 23

They ask for 107 overall... do you think it could be ok ?

hey guys,

I am an international student from Romania and I am looking to apply in UK. One of my choices was initially the Economics degree at Warwick. I got 104 in my TOEFL, reaching or exceeding the minimum scores for each section. However, they ask for a 105 overall score. So what do you think? Does it worth to take my chances and apply? Or I will just waste one of my 5 available options?

Hi there, i guess this depends on how far you missed the requirement and what course you're applying for.
I applied for BSc Management, missed my IELTS writing by 0.5 mark and they still give me an offer

Hey guys, plz give me some extraordinary advices.. I applied to BSc Management at LSE and fulfiled the minimum requirement of AAA, but failed to enter due to english requirements. I got 7.5 s in listening, reading and writing but 6.5 in speaking in IELTs wtf.. Not enough time to take another tests and have remark. What should I do.. 0.5 pt missing from even speaking is so unfortunate to be dropped off, isn't it? It's too strict.😭😭
