LSE BSc Management 2015

I'm so happy that the deadline is already tomorrow so all the applications are in and now it's only a matter of time how fast they process the applications. I'm actually glad for the wait (2months now) because it means that I'm not a definite no, which basically means for LSE that I'm somewhat a strong candidate. Since I'm from Finland I'm hoping that they keep to their line of picking a class with diversity. I'm nervous because I have a couple Finnish friends who got offers from LSE in like history and history&politics in a month. I'm fearing that there is an unofficial quota for each nationality so that there is only one or two students per year from one country, just enough to 'colour the map' of diversity...

Hi !
Congrats!!!!
May I ask you when you got your offer? and your predicted grades?

I got my offer early December. I'm taking a gap year so I'm applying with my actual grades. I did the IB. 77666 with Higher Level Math, Business and Management and English Lang&Lit.

You really think there is a quota? Hmm ... some courses have a significant percentage from certain nationalities because it is more popular or more jobs for their countries, and the same nationalities are not as well represented in other courses ... so I think it may be dependent on the popularity of the courses :smile:

Let's take a quick poll here:
Where you come from, which LSE courses are more popular?

Thank you. Maybe I wasn't very clear. What are the courses in LSE that are more popular with students from your country?

Hm I'd say Economics probably. But some friends of mine are applying for Management too.

I have no idea which subjects are the most popular (obviously i don't know where everyone applies), but in the Helsinki-region IB schools almost everyone applies to the UK, whereas 'normal' students don't really even know of the possibility and prefer to stay in the country. In our two IB classes, people applied to anywhere from programming and engeneering to history and interntional relations. Many applied for medicine or medical biology as well. So you see, i can't be the judge of which subject would be the most popular in Finland when there is already such diversity in our school alone.
I'm as hopeful to get in as the rest of you whilst fearing that the cultural diversity the school seeks is no strengh for applying from abroad if loads apply from the same country, rather a dissadvantage.

The picture should get clearer for Admissions with Cambridge decisions out of the way and A2 results out next week for those who did them in Nov. Hopefully more offers can be decided.
