LSE entry for 2014

I feel so ****. My friend got an offer from LSE and she's making me feel so crap saying "only clever people get it (insinuating i'm not clever enough) and I told her that if I dont get into LSE/UCL Im gonna take a gap year and she was like "no just go to a **** uni" like persuading me to take the wrong decision. I feel so ****, I really hope LSE give me an offer tomorrow. A rejection will literally kill me.

I guess somebody has to break this for you but a true friend would never proceed like this.

A true friend would **** on you only once you got the offer, before getting a response her duty is to be supportive. Crap, you don't even have to be a friend to follow this rule, it's common sense.

I know she's not a true friend, but it just kills me inside how sly people could be. When I was talking about taking a Gap year, she was like "no just go to a **** uni it doesn't matter where you go" when it evidently does and god I cant believe people are this selfish.

I'm a bit disheartened that people like her will be at LSE. But that's life, the good people don't always get what they want. Ignore your 'friend', she clearly doesn't have your best interests at heart. Good luck for LSE Friday!

I applied for Sociology on 14 January, but since so many people applied much earlier, I'm afraid my chances are much smaller now? Got the two week email the other day. I have 43 IB points but I only have one social science (psychology) in my subjects, so I'm not sure what my chances actually are... I'm pretty sure my personal statement was good, I hope that will compensate for perhaps not studying the right subjects. But I'm still not sure how important that really is for sociology. :/

you should expect a decision in March- I'm afraid. what are your grades?

I guess everybody has "acquaintances" like this, my friends give me s**t for applying to LSE too saying that there's no way I can get in even with my grades (but they keep it at a friendly level and never get personal about this). I was sure from start that my chances are minimal considering the competition but you don't have to be let down by this, Law is one of the most competitive courses so even the best candidates might get rejected because the places are limited.

Anyway, I hope you get accepted so you can rub it into the b****'s face.

When did you guys apply? Sorry and best of luck in your other choices.

Thanks I applied on the 22nd of November they took 8 and a half weeks to reply

I have! My GCSEs were pretty poor I got 1a* 1a 9bs and 2D* BTECs and my as levels were AAAB :-)

Oh God, Ned Stark is back. You're like LSE Entry thread celebrity, all heil the King.

I got back the new 7 week email today. I got the 2 week email two days ago(on Jan 22). I guess they are speeding things up since there aren't going to be any more applicants to consider.
Anyone else who experienced the same?

Not necessarily. Some stronger applicants tend to get their emails faster and hear back sooner
