Hey, I was wondering who else is applying for this course. Also are LSE likely to accept me if I have average GCSE grades, however Meet or even top their Entry Requirements?

I've applied too! Have you gotten a reply yet? As long as they meet the requirements it should be fine because it mostly comes down to your PS, as I've heard. :smile:

It basically says you have passed the initial review, and has been passed to the Admissions Selector for the BSc in Finance programme for further consideration, which will take "8 weeks" usually. Thus the name 8 week email.

Maybe if this year there will be even more applicants they will increase the intake. Also it could depend on whether the new course was successful in its first year. I'm not sure though, just guessing :smile:

Even I am thinking the same because they might have considered the first year as a trial run and I guess the course is pretty much successful as the Dept of finance at LSE is world renowned for their excellence :wink:
