Yeah I did! I still haven't heard back from them but they should respond by 9 January after they reopen. I think further maths is highly recommended but not required. I think people have gotten offers in the past without further maths if I remember correctly. Good luck!

Thanks! I go to school in the United States so I didn't take GCSEs, I took AP exams. When did you send your application?

What I don't get is that December 19th last year was a huge batch of offers, but this year I didn't gear much, has LSE just been lagging behind this year?

I don't suppose it's of consequence to them when they send their offers. Though I'm guessing that, in general, things are slower bc they've released new programmes.

Has anyone applied for maths and economics Im a little worried cause my GCSEs are pretty bad and I haven't done further maths

I applied for that as well and am still waiting. I didn't do as many IGCSEs as the others applying but only did them in one year as a second language speaker. I got 5A*s and 2As and straight As in my AS. I didn't do IGCSE and A level economics though, because my school didn't provide the course. I hope they'll take that into account.

Hey! I'm not an expert but my teachers tell me the reason why universities never ask for things like economics at A level is because they know that not every school offers it, so I'm pretty sure you won't be disadvantaged in any way. On top of that economics a level isn't really *that* relevant as there's no maths meaning it's nothing like it is at university.

This. Econ A-Level is pretty useless when it comes to degree. I did Econ at UCL last year and Maths/FM are much more helpful. People who did Econ (I was one of them) had a head-start for about a week and that was it.
