ESPS applicant 2017 entry ( european social and political studies)

Hello everyone!

I thought it might have been a good idea to start this thread to gain some mutual support.
It would be interesting to know why did you choose this course ? Did you select the dual defgree? Where are you from? In what subject are you going to specialise in ? Etc etc

Hope to see you at the interview!

Hiya, let's get this thread going!

- I chose this course bc I love languages and politics - so it was the perfect match!
- Nah I just chose straight UCL, applying to Sciences Po separately
- I'm from London lol
- Defo International relations and German, maybe Hebrew/Arabic/Mandarin/Russian

Also thought it may be helpful to put grades/extra curriculars down:
GCSE: A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*
AS: AAAA
A2 Predictions: A*A*A*
