I cringed at it reading it back and spotting all the mistakes! I wouldn't even give me a place!

Lol! I'm sure LSE doesn't care about the number of extra commas you've got in your application! :P They'd prefer an immaculate application, of that there's no doubt, but I'm sure they'd look more into the content of your application rather than grammatical errors :P and what matters the most is whether you've been able to convince the admissions officer that you are truly passionate about your course/not. So, cheer up (:

Dude, if your grammar is not flawless you have no chance of getting an offer. LSE's admissions department consists of 9 people who read thousands of statements annually, trust me, they will spot every mistake right away.

At least I understand where I went wrong. I didn't have a tutor checking mine every 2 seconds like all you sixth form chaps. I'm merely a mature student chasing a dream :')
Ironically though, I have a Cambridge interview :3

University of London, Birkbeck. I'm enrolled in their 'legal method' course as I am wanting to study Law. Congrats on Cambridge btw! Feel like a should have applied to Cam. as I just received my rejection form Oxford despite being predicted a 'distinction'. *sigh*.

Oh wow, that's brill!
So sorry you were rejected, especially as your predicted grade is so good!
I only applied on a whim and decided against Oxford because I couldn't find my course on their 'entry requirements' page so I sort of guessed they weren't very mature student friendly :P

What are you interested in studying? They do have a mature student only college, Harris Manchester, but they are slightly limited in what they are able to offer. Hope it all goes well for you!

I really want to go into politics so the courses I have applied to are very varied
From HSPS at Cambridge to Politics of the International Economy at King's - I just know I want to be a politician so hopefully I've put that view forward in my PS well enough :3
You too! Where else have you applied?

Well, I have applied for Law at UCL, King's, LSE, Durham, and Oxford. But now after being rejected before interview at Oxford, I'm feeling slightly anxious that I may have aimed too high. I just don't want to find myself in 'clearing' after all the hard work I've put into this. Anyhow, good luck with it all!

Hi everyone! This is my first post. I've been stalking this thread for a while and I really like the supportive atmosphere here! I received an LSE offer last week and I'm really excited. I applied to Oxford, LSE, Durham, King's and Warwick. And LSE is the only uni that has got back to me!

I wish all of you the best of luck!!! :tongue:

I applied for law. I probably will go to LSE since I have a strong feeling that I've bombed LNAT. and Oxford has started to give out interview invitations...

Oh congrats! I also applied for Law, and am currently on week 4 of my 5 week wait. I also felt like the LNAT was god awful, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do very well, but you never know! Do you mind me asking how long it took you before you received your offer? Congrats again!

I first received a two weeks email and after a week I received the five weeks email. Today should be the end of the five weeks but I received an offer just last week. I nearly had an heart attack as I was anticipating a rejection!

But don't worry too much! I'm sure LSE will get back to you as soon as possible! (I do understand that the wait is excruciating :frown:
