LSE entry for 2014

Oh, i see. They could just be busy considering they get lots of applications every year. I got my offer on thursday and I think i saw some other people who got it on thursday so i guess they like to send it on thursdays and friday so maybe you will have a reply by the end of the week.

I hope so! It's only AAB for Econ History so would be a PERFECT insurance choice alongside my A*AA UCL offer! However, I'm still deliberating whether I should put LSE as my firm even though it's only AAB because it's so ****ing amazing (if I do get an offer haha)

What is your UCL offer for? I've also applied for Economic History with Economics, and my 5 weeks ended today but had no response either thus far.

V100 History couldn't believe it!

Is your application handled by the Economic department or the Econ History one? I reckon we'll both hear on the same day if it's handled by the Econ History department, hopefully towards the end of this week and most likely on the famous 'LSE Fridays'

Ahhh well done! I'm awaiting a response for straight economics, I think they wait until feb though.
Handled by Econ History department, ahh okay, tomorrow or day after then hopefully! Good luck.

Nope, not russian but I am fluent in it as well.

Heh weird, I am doing Maths, Russian, ICT, Politics. I did Business last year but dropped it.

Is it Thursday or Friday LSE generally make decisions on? Or is it both?

Supposedly it's both! But it's usually 'LSE Friday'

It's funny how all Fridays have become "LSE Fridays" but none of them is THE LSE Friday

Anyone else applied for Philosophy of Logic and Scientific method? Got my 5-weeker about 3 weeks ago so waiting patiently..really want to get in so I can go on the lash with the philosophy lads, gonna be a right laugh - birds, booze, babes, banter.. Lash-don School of Economics I like to call it.

In all serious though, has anyone actually applied for PLSm or is it just me?

Im doing Russian aswell, did LSE email you asking what your home language is?

5 weeks up today for Economic History and no news

Honestly, my friends applying this year with similar grades have only just sent in their application, but I knew somebody last year with around 4a*s at GCSE and they got in. LSE care a lot about your personal statement, so just focus on that. I know everyone says LSE cares about GCSEs, but I don't believe they would focus on them in an applicant. ASs matter far more, and are a far better indicator. There's one certain thing, if you don't apply you don't get an offer, so just relax and see what happens. I've known people with a few A*s at GCSE get in, and people with over 10 A*s get rejected, and almost all of it came down to the personal statement. For me, I think the application process was a little easier because I was set on Cambridge (so the LSE emails, and then delays weren't too overwhelmingly stressful), but the interview process at Cambridge on the other hand, and how significant it is, is making me very nervous!

Good luck everyone

Don't worry, 5 weeks today for history and not heard from them :/

Id definitely pick LSE.

Lashdon School of Economics...? fml. *facepalm*
