LSE entry for 2014

Don't get excited on the day, chances are youl hear nothing. I applied Warwick , Manchester and birmingham , I have offers from Manchester and birmingham. What about you?

Just to let you guys know, I'm ringing LSE admissions offices in the morning concerning the whereabouts of my decision.

It's 4 weeks late ffs.

It's most likely that you'll receive the decision this week anyway. Good luck with the call, here's your script:

Hi Did you manage to get an useful reply at all? Applied for History and my deadline (+2 week christmas break) ended almost 4 weeks ago too.

I'm not an impressed bunny. https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/4540738816/h411F4E45/

Thanks!

You should do it. It worked for me for two unis:
Durham: i called them and they said they'll let the admission tutors know that I called and see if they can give me a decision soon as they can- I received my offer 2 days later. Durham is v. competitive for history.

Kings: I called them and they said it probably won't be today but my application has passed the initial stages of assessment and that should receive a decision weeks after they return from the christmas holidays. Nevertheless, they gave me an offer on that day. At around 7 pm.
It isn't a bad thing to do, especially in your case.

Sounds promising! Do you think LSE would be as nice as Durham and Kings though? I have a feeling they won't be...

I don't know, I never really called them. But you have nothing to loose.

Is there anyone who is doing A2 Sociology/Psychology?

Is there anyone who is doing A2 Sociology/Psychology?

I'm doing both with AQA, the A spec for Psychology.

(Unrelated) I got my offer from LSE for Sociology a few weeks ago which I'm pretty buzzing about, they replied to me a lot earlier than it said in the 8 weeks email thingy. I think some departments are a lot more busy than others so the response time will vary. The idea of moving down to London is getting more and more exciting everyday for me though, it's a far cry from the ridiculously dull streets of County Durham.

Congrats! I'm still waiting to hear back from them. If you don't mind me asking what are your gcse and as grades?

They're (relatively) quite average really, mix of As and Bs for GCSE, with a B in Maths, As in English lang. and lit. and AAB for my Science triple award. AS levels I got AAAB in Philosophy & Ethics, Sociology, Law and Psychology respectively, and I'm predicted AAA for A2 in Philosophy & Ethics, Sociology and Psychology. I think my personal statement and reference were the clinchers with my application as I think they were both pretty strong, and I come from an area of very low Uni participation and a low income background, so that would have favored me a little bit for the department to reach their quota. Obviously I know pretty much nothing about the application process though and all of these factors are just things I've possibly fabricated in order to diminish any guilt for getting an offer when other more academically-able people may not have

What are your grades and shizzle?

My grades are literally the same as yours. My gcses are a mixture of A's and B's and in AS I got AAAC. I'm also predicted AAA

Yes, I do sociology
