LSE entry for 2014

Did you have a general interview or a more subject based one?
I haven't been told if mine is one or the other, so I'm silently hoping the fact I study sociology doesn't mean I get a subject based one :P
I've been having a lot of mock ones in my spare time, but I get so anxious I just can't speak haha
Which college did you apply to?

Yes I hope you hear back soon, I know the wait is just awful I also applied to Oxford, UCL, KCL and Warwick. Getting this offer has made me so much more relaxed for my Oxford interview How about you?

I had both - my general one went really well, and my academic one (which was my first one) was a disaster. It was actually my general one where they asked about my Access course though. Ah that's good, I bet mock interviews are awesome at preparing you!

I applied to St Edmunds, yourself?

Oooh hopefully I get the general one then haha xD Do they ask a lot about personal statements and such?
I did an open application but was assigned to Hughes :3 Worked in my favour though as there were only 5 other people applying there for that course

Check your emails - I just had one saying my personal statement let me down.. Funny how Cambridge are interviewing me but LSE think they're far too good for me :')

This is EXACTLY how I feel.
I got an unconditional offer (from Leicester) based on my personal statement, but LSE just rejected me on my PS

Just got strongest app in this cycle email for Phil and Econ ....2 hours after getting a 7 week email -_- LSE, why do you do this to me?

Yey! Just received the "your application is amongst the strongest in the cycle" email. So, should hear back from the History department by 3rd Jan!

Ahaha, I'm expecting a rejection at some point in the near future. Have a bad feeling - not sure why.

That's crazy!

I got the "strongest application", then after 53 minutes:

For less than one hour I was "one of the strongest", now... they don't even describe me shah
