Have any Economics applicants heard back from LSE after submitting their UMS form?

I got my 8 week email yesterday (applied 05/10, UMS asked 10/10)

Can anyone advise me on whether I should bother applying?
My other choices are ucl, kings, Warwick, Bham and maybe nots if not lse.
I got AAAB at AS and 4A*s 6As 1B at GCSE.
AAC at A level in maths econ and further maths
Retaking the C and taking history to A2
Want to apply to international relations and history

Which course at UCL are you applying to, i thought they didn't do IR. My choices after LSE are King's, Notts, Man and Bham. I have the same gcse results as you, but our school didn't do AS this year (apart from geography, i got an A thank god). What are your predicted grades? Im applying for just IR btw.

Does anyone know how competitive it will be once we reach the further assessment stage? My course is 8:1 according to the website (maths with econ) and I wanted to know what we will be assessed from now on,,,

It actually has a 34% acceptance rate, so still competitive but not as competitive as 12.5%

It's on the website, I have no idea why people ask questions like this.

Well i've already looked mate and I can't find it, however, the majority of people on the student room are willing to help each other out...

Every course has the statistics for applications and places last year on the main page for the course. Here is the course page for BSc Economics: http://www.lse.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/DegreeProgrammes2017/economics/L101_BSc_Econ.aspx

You evidently didn't look well enough. This is literally the first result on Google. http://www.lse.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/DegreeProgrammes2016/economics/L101_BSc_Econ.aspx

TBH this figure is acceptances not offers so it doesn't actually answer their question... You can find offer rates by looking on freedom of information requests.

Or by looking at Whichuni. But I honestly couldn't be bothered to go through FOI requests for someone who's too lazy to do it themselves.

Lol that's why I didn't and just said it, WhichUni only has data for the last year so I find FOI easier, there's a search function so it's never too hard to find

Ok thanks. I applied on 10/10 so I guess I have to wait a few more days.

Actually you might hear sooner since the number of applicants is less.
However, they give out offers in small groups. Usually they responded on Thursdays and Fridays.

Last year, there were days that they just rejected people and days when they just gave out offers. It was very stressing. :biggrin:

haha. I have to agree. I have seniors who received offer for Econs very early and those who have to wait a while longer.
Hope your offer come super early so you dont have to be so stressed !

I got my initial assessment email like 2-3 hours ago. I'm applying for Maths AND Econ. Poor GCSE's with 4 A*'s 3 A's 1 B and 3 C's but I'm Predicted A*A*A* in Maths, Further Maths and Economics (achieved AAAA at AS, History being my 4th subject).

What makes you think they're poor gcses? average A* for that course is about 4 but it's just an average. People with a range of A*s get offers.

I'm applying to Maths with Economics btw, still haven't sent off my ucas tho.

LSE mailed me that they require predicted grades to be sent from the school email id . I applied to UCAS via an educational consultant (I am an international applicant). Did anyone else get same kind of response from LSE?
