LSE offer holders 2015

Status is "Submitted"

Applied for urbanest though, so I actually expected to get a room allocated reasonably quickly because it is first come - first served.

I applied for accommodation in Westminster Bridge. Have a made a grave mistake? Am I going to spend the whole of my first year regretting my decision?

Do you put 0 or 1 year as year at lse when applying for accommodation?

pas de souci mec je serai ton pote français si tu veux

That doesn't make sense... He has an AAA offer. Why would you pick another AAA offer as your insurance? Basically it means you have no insurance?

There's a greater chance of being accepted as a near-miss. And you don't have to commit to UEA (there are instances where no insurance is wise ie when you are able to go into clearing and get a better place through that). I know someone who's doing the exact same thing (AAA LSE firm, AAA UCL insurance and ignoring ABB UEA which is a pretty weird coincidence now that I think of it).

When did you submit your application?

Yes, I did. But I misunderstood the topic of this conversation. I was actually talking about my application to the university, not to the students rooms!

you two represent exactly the views of my teachers at school. on one side if I do miss my AAA, I really don't like the uncertainty of waiting for a reconsideration, but then people are saying you can always get into a uni like UEA through clearing.

there is absolutely no guarantee, no guarantee that the place at UEA will still be there waiting for me at clearing, and no guarantee that my near miss will be given a second chance by LSE/UCL.

:/ , I don't even know why I dwell on ages about my insurance... I just need to get into my firm afterall...

I have a similar dilemma. My first choice was always LSE and I picked UCL as a London Uni just in case I didn't get in to LSE. I also picked Bath, Bristol and Cardiff (my fall back plan if everything went wrong). I am pretty certain that I will firm LSE (AAA) but I want to insure Bath (A*AA) and therefore reject UCL (A*A*A), Bristol (AAA) and Cardiff (AAB). I have read that you can put whatever you want as your insurance but you take the risk if you miss both offers. I am predicted A*A*A with all As at AS level. I thought making my firm and insurance choice would be easy but it is not and my head is hurting.

A similar thing happened to me last year.
Last year I applied for Law at Oxford/UCL/KCL/LSE/Queen Mary's London.
Everywhere except Oxford (which actuallt rejected me post-interview anyway) had entry requirments of A*AA (Oxford was AAA). I was accepted to all of the other universities and was ultimately torn between UCL and LSE, both with A*AA conditions.
I was fully aware when I initially applied that I had no concrete insurance choice but I reasoned that I really did not want to go anywhere else. Prestige and being in London were of the upmost importance to me and so I only applied to the above universities.
In the end, I firmed UCL and put KCL as my insurance, with the reason that they'd be more likely to accept me than LSE in if I just missed my offer. Albeit I knew it was still unlikely.

In the end I missed out on my A*AA offer by 2 UMS marks and I was out right rejected by both UCL and KCL. I went through clearing but the best I could do out of the LONDON Universiies was SOAS (I got an offer but didn't go).
I reapplied, albeit for a different course and was again accepted to the above universities for 2015 start.
All I can say was that I knew I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere but LSE/UCL and if being at that university is of the upmost important then it's fairly clear what you should do and no insure UEA. Even if it means retaking and reapplying.
However, if going to university in 2015 is more importance than DEFINITLY insure UEA and just work really hard to get the grades
