I haven't even recieved all my offers :frown:

I have been tied up with other things too.

The ONLY thing stopping em straight out picking imperial is that MSc Finance has such a damn high admittance rate. While as Warwick and LSE have really low. Is this because LSE offer varieties of courses, so does Warwick and Imperial doesn't offer as many?

LSE MSc Finance is equivalent to LBS MSF in some ways, as quite a few students in the past have got associate positions at bb ibanks. Make of that what you will.

Fair point.. LSE does offer arnd 5 (6 if you include risks and stochastics) courses which are related to Finance)... and Imperial only offers 2 (i think).. have you got into LSE?? most say it has some of the best programs in the UK... where else are you waiting back to hear from??? :biggrin:

Ye people will get on associate roles from the MSc Finance cos they will have 3+ year workexp like ineedaplace said. Comparing LSE to LBS is silly, you have to, HAVE TO, have 5 years work experience to get into LBS, people can get into MSc Finance with no GMAT and work exp, hmmmmmm, I guess they are equivqlent :tongue:

. Is your LSE offer A&F?

I did say "some ways". Yes, but I'm thinking about taking a year out, do my GMAT whilst finding a job and apply to LBS Masters. That course has by far the best career prospects of any masters in the UK, and quite possibly Europe.

But 5 years worth of experience, it clearly states that for the masters and the MBA. Unless you already have 4 years which, with respect, I dont think you.

The MSc Management course only allows candidates with less than 1 years work experience. with 95% of the class employed within 3 months and a very high average salary, it must be an excellent course.

Ahhhhhhh, no no no no, dont do management, ahhhhh. Okay, slight over reaction, it will obvs be a good course. Why would you wanna do management after economics, particularly at nottingham who I know have a great course, seems a bit wafely to me. That being said:

MSc Management London Business School
2:1 Economics Nottingham

looks rather nice on a CV.

Quick Q, my A&F for LSE allows a 2nd choice, Economics is what I've put down. Any idea on a 2nd? My app is literally about to go in

Erm...to be honest I think Economics is probably the second most competitive course at LSE after straight finance. Why don't you put down msc accounting organisation instead? Whats your undergrad degree?

PS I thought you were going to Imperial?

Peaches you are applying to LSE?

I think I might firm imperial and reject all else. The course seems like it has alot of quantitative modules that will put a good foundation for later work :smile:

Plus I am interested in it.

I'm gonna be honest. I was reviewing the course content, and I wasnt too much of a fan, so its best that I didnt. Saying that, I picked Econometrics which admit around 21/232(top of my head) if im not wrong. If figured I wanted something really mathsy. But I doubt my course has enough maths in it to be considered. I'm not too phased about the second choice, for me, the best looking course at LSE is Finance and Economics, but GMAT is mandatory, so no putting that as my second choice.

Overall, If I get a scholarship for Imperial, and an offer from LSE, id maybe go Imperial. No scholarship from imperial and LSE offer, possibly LSE. No LSE offer, probably Warwick. Saying that, with this thing from Warwick it make the Fees £15,000 less than Imperial, £8k less than LSE, and maybe 5-8k in living cost difference. Maybe warwick overall cos a 'scholarship' on a CV will look better than no scholarship to some people.

(just checked the econometrics admission, 18/282. I was close, but thats fewer people with more applicants :smile:
