UCL PPE Applicants 2016

Hello! Here's a form to discuss applying for PPE at UCL 2016

With only 40 spaces on offer on the PPE course, it would be great to have a rough estimate of how many applicants there are, so if you're applying add yourself to the stalking page!

Has anyone else applied yet + gotten any PPE offers?

Over 1600 people applied for Oxford PPE last year - if most PPE applicants apply UCL too... odds aren't in our favour

Have people already got offers from UCL for PPE?! Cause I haven't heard of anyone who has yet...

I got an offer for PPE a couple of weeks ago!

I was rejected.

UCL PPEists: who has heard what? I had a module grade request, but haven't had any interaction past that!

I am not sure yet. But I don't think so because I might actually go for LSE (got the offef last week, so excited). What do you think?

I would probably go for LSE (even if I saw the course structure and it doesn't really appeal to me)

However the problem of LSE and UCL's PPE degree is that they are new courses and therefore may not be very well organized as others (Oxford, Warwick, York...)

What don't you like about the structure? If you don't mind me asking.

I have thought aboug that as well - At UCL the course is completely new, LSE started it last year. I think that's another arguement that acts in favour of LSE.
