LSE entry for 2014

Honestly, my friends applying this year with similar grades have only just sent in their application, but I knew somebody last year with around 4a*s at GCSE and they got in. LSE care a lot about your personal statement, so just focus on that. I know everyone says LSE cares about GCSEs, but I don't believe they would focus on them in an applicant. ASs matter far more, and are a far better indicator. There's one certain thing, if you don't apply you don't get an offer, so just relax and see what happens. I've known people with a few A*s at GCSE get in, and people with over 10 A*s get rejected, and almost all of it came down to the personal statement. For me, I think the application process was a little easier because I was set on Cambridge (so the LSE emails, and then delays weren't too overwhelmingly stressful), but the interview process at Cambridge on the other hand, and how significant it is, is making me very nervous!

Good luck everyone

Offer for A&F just now)

Going to sound dumb...what does that stand for? Congratulations though!!!!

Just noticed a few people have received offers on twitter in the last few minutes - probably had a bunch sent all in one go today. My inbox is still empty *sigh*

Congratulations! May I ask what week you were on?

If you wouldn't mind sharing your grades as well, I would greatly appreciate it

lkadsfjal;ksdfj ahhhhh! Congratulations, I'm so jealous! How many weeks into/past your 5-week email were you at? *Did you *just* get the offer?

Thank you so much! Yes, I got it about half an hour ago. And in case anyone's wondering, don't worry if you didn't get the 'strongest of the cohort' email - I never got one! Oh and I was 7 weeks past my 5 week email

7 weeks today since my 5 week email (for Law). I knew it was unlikely that I'd hear before the new year.

Offer for Law!! Can't believe they got back to me before the new year

6 weeks tomorrow since my 5 week email for law. Last year and in 2012, the law department sent out a fair few offers on the 19th and 20th of December respectively. I'm hopeful that the law department will similarly send out lots of offers later this month...(*please LSE, please*)

On the other hand, I also recall that several departments had mass rejection days. It's possible we may be due for one in the near future This is all speculation, of course.
