I can understand about the stellar grades as that's the same rule
for everyone
But this PS thing is way above me
How can one show passion for a subject they have just started
studying?

Apparently they know straight away when they look at a Ps, who is going to be interesting to teach. Beats me!! I would think a lot of exceptional students get turned away from Oxbridge and LSE. Are you going to offers day with your son?

Did they say why they rejected you?

We all knew the admissions criteria when we applied and while I am not a big fan of them using the PS as the deciding factor between similarly academic applicants, it is the only method they have.

They said it was because of my statement.
This is why I say that they should interview applicants

Not everyone can interview their applicants. Oxbridge spend a lot of money to organise their interviews, and they can afford to do so due to their endowments.

Sorry for the decision though :/ I know it feels unfair, and in all honestly it's a bit like lottery with LSE!

What would you have said if they did do interviews but then rejected you after the interview?

LSE has the prestige and the door opening potential but I have read that the course is supposed to be better at Cass. One thing that helped me choose to apply to LSE was the fact that the first year is the same for BMS, AS and AS & F but you could change at the start of the second year if you hit the required standards.

Just firmed my LSE offer and insured Bath even though it is a higher offer.

Felt a little sad rejecting UCL, Bristol and Cardiff but it needed to be done. London here I come.

Thinking of doing the exact same soon, although my Bath offer is lower :biggrin:

What subject is this for?

Got the letter to say how much I get from student finance today and paid the deposit for accomodation too which means I've got everything sorted now ready for September. Actually can't wait

Might apply for the scholarships, doubt I'd get one but might as well try, is anyone else going to?
