do not all people get the 8 week email?

I think if you flat out don't qualify with grades they'll reject you before

Is this for entering ums that isn't maths? If so I think you are meant to put total ums not an average. Eg. 187 if it were out of 200

I emailed them and they said they wanted percentages for your non maths subjects. :smile:

For the UMS form, If you get something like 79.6% do you round it up to 80% write 79% or leave it as 79.6%

It asks for the percentage uniform mark (UMS)

Also for maths if you got 94/100 did you fill it in as 94 or 94/100 - would they know how much each unit is out of?

I'd write 79.6%. 79% is just bad Maths lol

For all my other subjects/units, I got whole numbers for UMS - e.g. 97%

For one of my subjects though, my UMS is 89.7%. Should I round it up to 90% because I wrote down all my other UMS with whole numbers?

Thanks! :smile:

I wouldn't, because you didn't actually get 90%. But I'm not sure.

it took exactly 2 weeks to get the next email for me (Law)

have you had the email that comes after the one about reviewing your personal statement and qualifications then? What did it say?

So if the two week email is about personal statements/qualifications, then what is the 8 week email for?

I got 2 emails today and the only email I got before that was acknowledgement. There was one telling me they're reviewing my personal statement and academic profile and another email with a link to a survey/questionnaire asking for UMS

But they only ask for UMS for students taking A Levels and it may differ from course to course

Yep I had it today, it says:

"I am writing to provide you with a further update on your application to the LSE. I am happy to tell you that your application is now under consideration by the Admissions Selector for the LLB in Laws programme. The Selector will be making further academic assessments on your qualifications and personal statement, and will be considering your application in competition with other candidates in your cohort.This may take up to eight weeks. I will be in touch at the end of this process to let you know what happens next."

I actually sent mine off twice, with the second one having the percentages (they didn't reply to me for a while and I was impatient :rolleyes:

). So if you think not putting the percentages will keep you up at night, there's always that choice too!

comparing you against other students I think. in the end it's pretty meaningless until you get an offer or rejection tbh :tongue:
