Entrance Exam(UGAA)

I'm an Italian student (and this is my first post, though i've been following this thread). I can't believe that happened, but I've just received an offer for management. It seems they sent all decisions today!

Well, I've been rejected. Was hopeful. But, I accept their decision.

I'm sorry. What reason did they give for the rejection? Were you accepted in any other UK universities?

It was a general e-mail of rejection. It was either because my marks in the exam weren't high enough or my marks were met the requirement but my whole application wasn't good enough.

I have not been accepted by any other colleges. I applied on Jan 15.

What about you?

I"m really sorry. I got my rejection email yesterday, citing that my UGAA was not good enough. It's disappointing. I also haven't been accepted by any other universities.

Good job mate! Do you have any idea if there is anyone who has been accepted for Economics? Moreover, could you please tell me how your examination conditions were? Did you spend more than 3 hours on the test?

My UGAA score was not high enough as well. I am so sad and angry about everything. I've spent so much time learning and preparing and more importantly, hoping!

Guys, did you cheat during the examination? Me and my friend spent exactly 3 hours and we were 100% fair And I am now thinking that we may have lost the places in the detriment of some cheaters. How were your exam conditions?

I chose the one with the Internet: boring, short and ****ty intro, 2 decent paragraphs with good ideas that had to be developed much more but I ran out of time and a boring and ****ty conclusion.

Guys, the exam was horrible. The Maths section was much tougher than the ones from the previous years. The Precis was dam tough and I only got 20 minutes to write a ****ty essay... I am disappointed. How did you guys find it?

Did anyone sit the UGAA today? Thoughts?

I think I goofed up on a couple of questions in Section C (no section D for me, yay) but I'm applying for BSc Government so I don't think (hopefully) they're looking for incredible talent with maths,

Thought the précis and essay topics were very gentle. Much easier than I anticipated overall, which is famous last words I know!

What evidence and reason(s) do you have, to throw around a suspicion like that? Your question and remark sounds rather baseless to me, and it verges on the point of a bitter and desperate accusation. It's insulting to entrance exam sitters who earned their offers through their own merit. I doubt any examination invigilators would tolerate cheating and allow anyone more than the allocated time for each section. If you do know of anyone or suspect anyone of cheating, surely you would have reported it rather than detract the achievements of those EE sitters who have offers?

You said yourself that your exam didn't go well:





In contrast, other people found the précis easier than you did.

In the end, the harsh truth is that other people performed better than you did. That's why LSE rejected you and gave them offers.

I totally understand your point. My point is this one: I really hope that EVERYBODY who got an offer, either for Economics or for the other courses, did not cheat during this examination. If this happened, them I am very disappointed, sad, depressed and angry that I was unable to perform better during the exam. I do not know whether that happened because I did not prepare in the right manner, I am not smart enough, I was very emotional or a combination between the three. I tend to blame emotions for my low performance, having made some silly mistakes at the Maths section, because of which I lost a lot of time and some points.

I was invigilated by my Maths teacher who would never allow cheating to occur, but looking back right now, I could have given to LSE as contact and as invigilator a teacher outside my high school who helped me correct my Personal Statement. If I wanted to cheat I am sure that she would have helped me with the precis and essay part and I could have done the Maths with a Maths teacher.

And by the way, StreetfordEnd did not have to do the Section D Maths section, which was very tough.

And, just for the record, we cannot and will not know what happened when every single candidate wrote the exam. To assume that people cheated is sad.

I had to sit in a really small room with a woman from the British council testing team, a stranger who I did not know. With only a clock and a fan for company.

The very thought in your head that you could have cheated is unbecoming. The very fact that you would like to cheat and change your fate is distasteful.
