LSE or Warwick

Currently I am considering applying to either LSE or Warwick in 2016. However I have done terribly in my GCSES but now I am doing incredibly better in A levels. At GCSE I recieved 2As 4Bs and 6Cs (I know it's terrible!). The 2 As were in Maths and Further Maths. For AS level I currently study Maths, Further Maths, Computing and Economics. I am predicted all As and next year I plan on keeping all 4 subjects. IF i am to be predicted and recieve all A*s next year, with an incredible personal statement, would it be possible for me to recieve offers for Economics by one of either LSE or Warwick?

Well if you were predicted 3 A stars and got 4 As without a shadow of a doubt you would get the offer from Warwick. From LSE it's more hit and miss because of the competition, but you have five choices so give it a shot.

If you perform well in your A levels universities will overlook GCSEs, even Oxbridge (though probably more Oxford) would judge you as a candidate who has turned round their academic performance, rather than as a lesser option for them.

Should I reply to both or should I just stick to Warwick?
Also for an amazing personal statement would you recommend anything I should spend time doing other than reading books and getting work experience?

You seem just like me, I may get a few more Bs, but i don't know I find GCSE's boring,

i I think if you get 3*/4 that should be perfect for Warwick, however LSE can be a bit judgemental, they do not interview you!!! So your gonna have to rely on a flawless statement, or just luck ! Best of luck, if you achieve those grades maths says you are likely to end up in a top end uni, so don't stress too much about unis for now, and just aim high for those grades!

You more likely to receive an offer from Warwick but LSE is probably unlikely. The type of students that get rejected by LSE is just crazy.

I think you should apply, with those grades and predicted you deffo have a chance. But LSE is significantly harder to get into whereas Warwick is more lenient and I have heard more people say they enjoyed their experience there, so I wouldn't waste a application space on LSE.

Why are you considering LSE and Warwick?

You have to pick the University that you want to attend because it is the right one for you not because it has the best reputation.
As for your question - nobody can tell you that you will or will not get an offer from LSE. Have a read of a few threads in the LSE forum - like this one 0 http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2730573&x=17&y=12 and you will see how incredibly difficult it is to get an offer from LSE.

My opinion and reasons for my choices/non choices are - I didn't want to apply to OxBridge against the wishes of my tutors in college. I didn't want to apply to Durham, Exeter or Warwick because of the travel involved and I am not doing STEP. I applied to LSE, Bath, UCL, Bristol and Cardiff and I have offers from all of them, apart from Bath. I will pick the one that is right for me and that is what you should do.

Think the average GCSE grades on Warwick Economics/PPE is 7 A*s and virtually everyone has a band of A*/A grades at A-level, I am not sure where definitely getting an offer is coming from. You will stand a reasonable chance if you get those grades, whether you get those, remains to be seen.

Warwick it is then! Hopefully everything goes to plan now so that I actually get in! If you have any tips for my PS or revision ect, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I just wanted to see if there was a possibility and I hope that me getting the grades will lead to an offer from one of them. That's the goal

Yeah, depending on your circumstances, they will overlook your GCSEs. Just focus on getting those grades.
