Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

Original post by lordvulture

nooo i highly doubt that TSR contains 10% of all the LSE applicants... if you look on the LSE applications thread, 10% of total applicants ( I don't know how many across all subjects, but it is far more than number of people talking on the thread... )

Whatever the percentage of total applicants on TSR, do you think it's likely to be representative? Don't fuss too much over what you see on here - it's a nerdfest (not that that's a bad thing).

I know one person got a rejection today from Trinity Hall.

its almost like the colleges do their rejections in turn... I wish my college is as efficient as these...

They rarely do straight offer out of the pool for econ though, and looks like the most under subscribed colleges have given out interviews :frown:

I definitely hope you are right though

that doesn't sound good for us internationals who won't get reinterviewed :frown:

No I wasn't pooled, I got a direct offer. I just like it how MWM asks for other people's colleges but minds sharing his own. There's no free lunch, as we all know! :u:

Yes I know and I remember your initial college choice. I wish you the best of luck wherever the interview takes place.

They finally emailed me today. I honestly hope you get fished, it'd be nice to meet with as many economists as possible from here who are quite nice people (mostly :wink:

I don't think anyone knows my initial college choice ? What do you think it is ?

I would be a hypocrite if I was to say "don't ask me about my college" because that is what I do to other people, I "ask".
In fact I choose not to tell people about my college and so I am not a hypocrite until I start "demanding" people tell me their college.

Oh come on, by asking someone you 'expect' them to tell you otherwise you wouldn't waste your time asking them, why should you expect someone to tell you their college choice when they don't expect you to tell them yours :pierre:
