LSE entry 2015

I'm a Chinese-American applicant applying from an international school in China. I'm a predicted 45/45 (with HL's in English, History, and Economics) and I'm applying to International Relations and History.

I really hope I have a shot at LSE and am not discriminated because I'm Asian. I know this may be the case for my US colleges. Is LSE harsh strict towards international students?

LSE is the most internationally diverse university in the world, why would they discriminate against you because you are Asian?

You have a great chance at LSE and you won't be discriminated at all. Stay cool.

Buddy with a 45, you are in with an awesome shot. Actually there has been a growing concern that LSE is financially unsustainable, and being a full-tuition international may actually help your cause. Of course, LSE is a world-leading institute up there with Harvard, Oxford, Princeton etc, so no one is really guaranteed a place. Keep that in mind when you get your final decision. However, with a 45, as long as your ps is well written you are in with an above average chance.

What makes a personal statement LSE quality? And would they take people with a better ps over people with higher grades? Eg 95ums+

Is it only Thursday that they give out offers or Fridays as well? (Somebody said earlier that they take it in turns per week so one week offers and the next week rejects?)

I'm in the U.S., so it's too far for me to go to the offer holders day. Wish I could!

Basically showing that your head over heels for your subject.

I had two friends last year who applied with me, one had virtually straight A*s GCSE, perfect predictions, 97% avg but didn't get in. Rejection letter said "while PS was good, it wasn't as good as that of other applicants." The other had 4A*s GCSE, lower predictions and sub-90 UMS and he got in (but in March). Make of that what you will.
