Sent one application off, but one of my referees let me down, I'm in a panic to find someone. I asked someone who set up s social group I go to, fingers crossed, and my former employer has gone into Administration. I do have someone else,
I'll be fine

Fair enough, though I'd take Cardiff third then, they just built a new postgraduate learning centre for the business school, with a fancy new trading room.

Where are you from then?

I'm living in Cardiff, and know some people in the university. It's a great city, and the (main) university has a good name (not the other one by the name of Cardiff Metropolitan University).

Oh no, that's a shame! What grades would you need and what do you have? LSE is so tough to get into, so I guess part of it is luck. But even if I did get in I haven't quite worked out how I'd pay for it!! :P

Best of luck for Nottingham! :3

Yea i guess so. I needed a 70% above in all undergrad years but i got a 60% in the 2nd year because i dint appear for a set of my exams ..and a GMAT score which i dont have. Ive heard they give out many scholarships right?.. the fees are a bomb everywhere esp for an international student like me! Thank u and best of luck to u for LSE! :smile:

Hello Esha :smile: I do Politics now, so I'm hoping to do International Relations, but I only got a low 2:1 in Second Year, so I'm not massively confident. But I'm sort of taking the view it would be only worth it (for me) if I could get into say UCL/Kings or Durham or something, and I'm not really sure my grades are good enough.

How about yourself? What are your dreams and aspirations? What unis/courses are you looking at?
