LSE entry for 2014

Gawsh stop being a drama queen. Tons of people are still waiting on a decision, and now that you have one you would eventually have to look at it sooner or later. Just do it.

The thing is, right now, the world is perfect.

Right now, the cat in the box can be either alive or dead, and I cannot know which until I open it.

I applied for Philosophy and Economics, by the way.

I got an offer for BSc Economics (A*AAE) yesterday. I got the 'your application is strong enough to be further considered email'. Then I got an email requesting UMS marks for every A-Level exam I've taken. Then yesterday, I got an offer!

You are right, it does sound like I'm a drama queen.

But you know what, I never do this. I opened my Oxford rejection straight away. As I have for all the others. But to be honest, for the first time, I'm worried to find out.

congrats man! can i ask when did you get the 'your application is strong enough to be further considered email'? thanks!

No problem. I have 4A's in Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Physics. Average UMS of 93.

Maths (292/300)
Further Maths (282/300)
Economics (178/200)
Physics (278/300)

Does everyone get asked for their UMS?

I only think the economics department ask for UMS.

Really? My friend got her Eco offer a week ago, but has never been asked for UMS.
I am applying for Eco as well and just got the 4 weeks email after finishing waiting my five weeks and haven't been asked about UMS yet.
My UMS is not good enough and kind of worrying.

Got rejected today - would be fine with it, but they sent me the most soul-crushing email.

Basically said that my Personal Statement didn't show enough interest in Anthropology, or enough preparation for the course. I literally have spent the last year working insane hours between studying to try and build a great wealth of experience and preparedness for my Personal Statement; organising events, doing volunteer work in my local museum, getting funded to do a training course in artifact archiving, raising money for charity, watching lectures etc. I have a child, a job and am on a really low income so have only been able to 'make do' with locally available opportunities and reading books rather than go and explore the world, but I was so proud of my Personal Statement! Feel like nobody is going to give me an offer now... they even linked me to their page to show me what they would expect a 'good' statement to have in it. Talk about cold

Does anyone know if LSE are a bit funny with Access students? They never asked me for predicted grades, or for any information about why I flunked out of school originally. Just feel so deflated. My Cambridge interview had tonnes of references back to my PS, so I kinda thought that was a positive sign!

I'm sure LSE do not discriminate against anyone, be it race, religion or age. Every year loads of top students get rejected from LSE, so you should be proud to have made it this far. You still have Cambridge decision day to look forward to.
