I am an international student and the best offer I have now for IR is from LSE...

LSE? Success rate around 5% IIRC? :eek:

Well done fishcandyguo! :smile:

LSE? way to go! I (as expected) was rejected. LSE is amazing, so you should definatly be proud of what you achieved!

Thank you very much. Actually I got a conditional offer from Warwick too for Politics, Economics and International Studies, but the requirement is higher than the one from LSE. It really gives me a hard decision on my first and insurance choices. How do you guys think?

I'd make LSE your first choice anytime! I guess that's because i really loathe economics... However, Warwick is an awesome campus, and London can get really expensive to live in.... If you choose between the courses i would go to LSE, but maybe Warwick would be a better place to live!

Warwick is definitely up there for IR/International Studies. Although it's fiercely competitive, apparently they receive an extraordinary 12 applications per place (according to Undergraduate Admissions).

I didn't apply to LSE in the end because of London - I didn't want the cost and coming from the countryside I think London would be too much for me all at once. Plus I'll probably want to/have to work in London at some point, so keeping uni costs down is a big factor for me.

I'm very likely to put Warwick down as my first choice for Politics. It's department is excellent - the Times put it second in the Politics league table (these are dubious, I know) but it's certainly up there along with Oxbridge and LSE.

Warwick doesn't have the same reputation the LSE has (certainly not internationally) but it's a growing university and it's reputation in the UK is top notch. In my opinion it's the best of the group of universities just outside the G5 (Oxbridge and the three top London colleges). It's only 41 years old this year, so looking at how much it has grown in such a short period of time speaks volumes. Where will it be in another 40 years? The value of a Warwick degree is likely to appreciate.

12 per place?! That's almost the 20 per place ratio of LSE! Why haven't I had a look at these statistics before I applied?!

I obtained the Warwick information through contacting Undergraduate Admissions, I don't think the application :tongue:

lace ratio is advertised anywhere.

Might be because they give a lot more offers than places available because so many people turn them down and so many people don't meet their offers.
That's why I prefer applications- offers statitistics.

Disclaimer: That's at least what an Warwick economist told me.

What I mostly want to know now is if there's anyone ever put LSE as his/her insurance (except that s/he got an offer from Oxbridge) and got rejected by LSE even though the requirement was reached in the end...Would it be a risky option?

They can reject you if you meet their offer? :confused:

No, they can't. If you put them as conditional they would have to honour their offer.

Ah Ok. Great relief.
