King's vs LSE ??!!

do you know how hard it is to get medicine (especially at KCL)?

I would say Medicine at KCL is more prestigious (harder to get into, higher entry requirements, interview process, longer degree).

LSE > KCL...overall rep

However a degree from KCL in medicine or dentistry is more reputed than a degree in 'economic history' or 'management' or 'geography' from LSE

It is ridiculously hard to get into LSE economics too. Very high entry standard as there is a huge international demand for it.

The application success rate is low. It is a small school with a small intake. KCL Medicine programme is large. More over it even has the EMDP programme.

LSE economics is more as premier as Oxbridge economics more than one can claim KCL medicine is as prremier as Oxbridge medicine.

This is a silly comment, and immature. Students apply to their courses for a reason, and if they wanted to do Medicine they would have gone for it. LSE as an institution is more prestigious than KCL, but to then degrade it for not offering Medicine like KCL is ludicrous.

Pre-2000 KCL asked for ABB/AAB to get in, with no GMAT/UKAT. Plus there were far fewer medical school places back then. Now you need AAA/A*AA just to stand a chance, plus the tests and interview on top.

Every man and his dog gets A grades these days, thank goodness A Level exams are being made harder in 2017, back to how they were before Labour messed things up and dumbed them down so far that they are now easier than O Levels were.

KCL medicine for me is more prestigious (this is my opinion)...

I could have applied to economics if I didn't want to do medicine anyway....especially as LSE don't interview (kinda weird and easier for me seeing as you claim it to be better than oxbridge)....I know that I would probably have had a decent chance (got relevant work exp and could have done the extra reading)..

I agree A grades are nothing significant....and they made it very easy for me to get 3A*s at a-level or maybe its just me.

But I would be more impressed personally if I saw a Doctor from Oxbridge/Kings/UCL/ICL/Edinburgh than a guy with a degree in economics from LSE....that is just me though.....


Lol just realized...did you honestly think I was degrading LSE for not doing medicine? Where did I say that previously? Im not that uninformed as you think...they are the london school of economics for a reason....haha

Umm, LSE's BSc in Economics requires a minimum of A*AA with an A* in Maths. The latest figures show that the program received 2,747 applicants for 211 places. The MSc in Economics requires a First with a strong background in Economics and Maths. It received 1,026 applications for 132 places. The MSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics requires the same qualifications and received 325 applications for 23 places. LSE's Department of Economics is widely viewed as the best outside the US. In short, perhaps you're not impressed, but applicants can only really claim to have a slight chance at these programs.

7 Keys to becoming a classy woman:-

1) You should start by being a high quality woman and projecting (marketing) yourself as such.

2) Develop rituals that support your sense or self-worth.

3) A high class woman rarely loses her cool.

4) Great Posture.

5) Authenticity

6) Be True to Yourself

7) Dress modestly where it fits.

Good luck!

I don't know why everyone makes a big deal out of A*AA!!! That doesn't really impress me.

Medical school admission ratios are also like that (one has a 12 applicants for every 1 place).

It may impress the general public obviously.





LOL...you are making this immature now but...

Just because someone reads this and applies this to their life, doesn't mean they automatically become 'upper'/'high' class. In fact they usually will never be, because high class women are already born into a high class lifestyle. The only real high class in the UK is the top 1% of the whole of UK already born into prestigious families, anybody who tries to label themselves as being 'high class' is just pretentious and wants to inflate themselves.

I only regard myself as being middle class (most people do as that is where they actually fit into society).

Anybody who thinks themselves as being upper class is pretentious and also has no idea of class (can't be learnt solely needs to be attained through lifestyle and family values, money, education and views) they therefore are usually lower middle class.

As a doctor you won't be earning that much, unless you can do what most can't and sail through the ranks to Registrar or Consultant. Also it takes a while for some to even get their first job, and often it is far from home in some random place they know nothing about. Too many medical graduates coming through.

Its pretty clear to me the only things you know about medicine are the words Registrar and Consultant...

First off there aren't too many medical graduates coming through, it is just the right amount especially when we take into account the aging population.

Second, every doctor graduating in the UK is guaranteed their first job, called the foundation doctor job. Its only far from home if you graduated bottom of your class or do poorly on your SJT, and this is the same of any degree, its probably safe to say that if you graduated bottom of your class in Econ at LSE and were voted least likely to succeed you probably won't be working at hedge fund anytime soon.

Third, not everyone wants to become a consultant, many want to become GPs, it is a great lifestyle.

Fourth is that all doctors earn quite similar amounts no matter if you obtain a Consultant position or if you become a GP. Generally GPs can expect somewhere between 80,000-100,000 while Consultants usually can earn more somewhere between 90,000-175,000 depending on their seniority and working hours and with bonuses and supplemental income this can be much higher. Those in surgery who work in private hospitals can earn much more although there aren't good numbers on this.

Either way, most people in medicine go into it because they want to take care of others while also taking care of themselves. Unlike bankers for example even in a hypothetical apocalyptic scenario doctors will still be one of the most valuable professions while bankers will be pretty useless. Also, bankers love to talk about the few who reach the pinnacle of the profession, the vast majority don't make it and unlike medicine this part is actually true. This isn't even to say anything about longevity, to be able to stay in a company like Goldman Sachs is difficult: a common phrase is "up or out".

Just read the comments LOL people who think they can get into lse - everyone can talk the talk.

Has it occurred to you that most medical students DO NOT want to be GPs? It was only a few years ago that only 1 in 3 new medical graduates found jobs, and to this day many say their first job is somewhere undesirable, and further down the line it is hard to progress in hospital medicine.

Also, you tend to make sweeping statements like the above. Why? Do you have an attitude problem? Do you seek arguments and attention? Are you are drama king? Was it you who recently ridiculed QS World Rankings?

I'm not interested in reading any more of your messages, so don't quote me again.

LSE >>>>>> Kings

Whoever says otherwise is a complete idiot
