Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

Warwick

Nice, same here.

rejection from UCL, didnt even want it (well maybe i did but not desperately trying to tell myself bath will be better)

woo bath!

Hey guys,
Havent actually posted on this thread before.
Just wanting to say to all those who haven't heard yet, dont be disheartened I got into LSE and UCL with the minimum requirements of A*AA, and ok GCSEs.
Best of luck!

Also, I would really like some advice on what uni to firm and what to insure? I have offers from LSE, UCL, Birmingham and Manchester (I applied for pure economics to all universities). I really liked UCL and never even considered LSE as I was so sure I would get rejected (hearing how they are GCSEs Nazis etc.).

Thanks in advance

you must get an oustanding PS which I believe they put more focus on than GCSE and A-level. which one to firm and insure depends on which suits you more (location,course structure and the environment,..) hope u make a right choice
I am still waiting for LSE on the same course. Many people already got their offer for l101 and the last week is often a massive rejection week as in 2011, I am now dying for worries. If you don't like LSE, can we swap our offer then? jk

Go to LSE. I already put up with you for two years...I don't think I can manage another two :P

Haha, where did you apply? Good luck for LSE, hopefully you do get in but even if you dont, there are other amazing universities for econ

Damn it! I really need to move to another account. Should have never told you my account name

13/10, I hope so as well. I know UCL is also good for Eco but not in comparison to LSE

as you may find info on their website, lse has more courses related to economics and therefore it's more flexible if you change your mind, also I think lse is more mathsy and maths is an integral part of eco I may say

I got offers from ucl,birmingham and manchester but still hope for lse. and thanks,I hope so as well. I know UCL is also good for Eco

You told me because you LOVE ME

Congrats! All of them are amazing unis and you should be proud to have offers from them. May I ask what A Levels you took as you said you got in only having A*AA? Just wondering

And regarding your other question: Did you visit both? Reputation wise LSE is a bit better but that shouldn't influence your decision. There is not much of a difference between the Top 5 universities in economics. So if I were you I would choose the university where I think I will fit in better. LSE is famous for having loads of students that opt for a career in investment banking and hence they are very very career driven. Of course you'll find the same at UCL but it seems to be that at LSE it is much extremer. So you shouldn't make a decision before you have visited both and checked out the atmosphere

More courses related to economics? In what way? UCL Economics is designed to teach Economics. You do know that, right? In what way does it have more courses related to Economics?

From what I've read/come across (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), the UCL L100/1 course(s) are very Mathematical, perhaps not as much as LSE, mind. Doesnt necessarily make it as superior to UCL as you are making out it does.
