Yup, LSE is my first choice. You also said you were going to have a skype interview, so I'm guessing you're an international applicant like me?

Thank you so much. I am at the moment studying As and hopefully your interview goes amazing. Any tips on how you approached your Economics personal Statement for Lse would be grateful.


How to approach it... Haha, that's a good question. I think, you just have to be passionate in economics which can be presented in numerous ways. Personally, mine had a large emphasis on various books I have read and what sparked my interest. Also current events that I find very interesting, and that I've read about and looked further into. This is a rather sleep deprived reply, so I'm sorry if there is a lack of coherence and grammatical accuracy... Anyway, obviously your personal statement is very unique, just, if you have passion, and if you are particularly interested in various aspects of economics, convey that as well as you can.

Mine was very academically focused with a brief 'hey, I do other things too' paragraph at the end. Yes, I greatly enjoy various pastimes but that's not why I'm applying to study Economics at university, and neither was it a significant deciding factor in choosing the universities I applied to. So the focus of my personal statement was my great interests in various fields of economics, which books I've read to develop my understanding of those fields, and various thoughts or opinions that I feel are significant in how I view current events and economic theory.

I don't have much advice except to mean what you say, and to say what you're truly passionate in.

Exactly my point.
Could you please tell me how it goes? I am an international student so I probably can't phone the school myself :frown:
Sadness... I hope it was some kind of administrative error!!
