He has had a gap year or two or whatever and re-applied ( probably doing these extra A levels in the mean time) otherwise he would not have the A2 results. But all the same very good results. GCSE's are a bit low for LSE however.

Oh ok,

I'm on my first (and only) gap year. Yep I am reapplying.

I finished 7 A levels within 2 years, 2007-2009, which will be certificated in Dec 2009. So no, I am not doing any extra A levels during my gap year.

well i did mine it pretty much in a year. i came from abroad (at end of year 10) and although having done similar stuff, it was different. also my english wasnt as good as it is now. i think this was mentioned in my reference so prolly counted in my favour.

EME, well i dont think its easier to get into, nor harder.

the PS shud be different in my opinion too, so u need to choose the one course you wanna do - that will make ur PS stronger.

I really don't get why you decided before you're not good enough to apply to some more competitive universities. You've got some awesome grades there.
