Hey! I’m deciding between econ + politics or econ + econ history at lse (was supposed to apply for pure econ but I didn’t do fm), I’ll be applying to pure econ everywhere else tho (ucl,kcl, Manchester, Leeds)

Also wanna know how did you guys tailor ur personal statement cause it was rather a last minute decision for me so now my personal statement is basically tailored towards pure econ (with a focus on inequality) and there are exactly 4000 characters so it wouldn’t be possible for me to add anything without deleting my existing paragraphs 💀 anyways I would love ur suggestions and thoughts on this cuz I’m rather lost
