Cass Business School perhaps? Or maybe it is good only for finance and business, not economics...

I want an offer from Bath and/or Bristol....

Been waiting a while and I want to go to either of these two SO BAAAAD haha. This is an unnecessary random comment by the way, just needed to express by anxiousness.

Yup, I am from India.

And I heard LSE and UCL are relatively easier to get into for international students as compared to Oxford because they like admit around half international students and want to maintain a diversity while Oxford prefers Brits!!

Is this even remotely true??

BTW I got a mail from UCL 2 days back saying that they wanted to know my First year Maths syllabus in Delhi University before they can process my application further. What would you make of that?

Well yes LSE and UCL have a more generous quota on international students so you could say that you probably stand a better chance. However, you still have to meet the entry requirements and beat the competition (I believe that international competition for london is very intense).

Well I wouldn't read anything into that. It just means that they want to find out more about your achievements and potential because they do not have sufficient information to decide on your application.

Cass doesn't do economics.

So you've taken someone elses offer without the intention of actually even going there just to make up your 5 choices?

UPDATE : LSE rejected me as well. UCL my only hope now.

Oh my.... commiserations!! Just rejected only? Well what will you do if you don't get into UCL as well?

I feel sorry for you,

WISH you LUCK with UCL!Don't be sad!

What are your grades like?
