I received my rejection for Maths AND Economics this morning (Slightly different course). At AS Level I had 5As: Maths (A) Further Maths (A) Economics (A) Religious Studies (A) Physics (A) with a 96.5 UMS Average (Out of 100) across them. Additionally, I had a strong Personal Statement and a variety of academic/non-academic achievements. So yes, it is very competitive. I wish you the best of luck.
Haha I think I've spoken to you before on here,we got the 4 weeker at the same time if I can remember properly
Haha yeah I thought I recognized your username! I just want to hear back soon, whether it be good or bad news. We'll probably hear from them at the same time since we're in the same batch! Good luck! Btw are you international?

Thanks! It seems though that all the PPEists in power do have the appropriate background too, which is a pretty big factor.
I think in my case the decision will also be largely personal - the two universities seem equally good (although LSE's course is far more exciting) so it's just preference left to differentiate between them.
You're a Cambridge applicant then I presume?
Whatever choice you make, I wish you the best.
I 'was' a Cambridge applicant, but I was unfortunately rejected post-interview.
Me too! IB predicted 43/45, and PS was good too, according to our counselor.. It is super competitive!
I'm so sorry to hear that! I ran my PS through about 3 teachers who commended it highly, in fact they told me it was one of the best that they had read - I find it odd that the only reason they gave for rejecting me was that my PS wasn't good enough.
I don't know much about how the IB is marked or anything, but 43/45 seems insanely good - It is a real shame that we didn't make it.
Counting on UCL now - Still haven't heard from them. I've received offers from my fallback options (Surrey, Queen Mary). I'm considering reapplying next year though, my Cambridge interviewer suggested I should go to Oxford - he told me I was 'too Aristotelian for Cambridge'!? I disagreed.
Thank you! Counting on UCL - although the figures say that the course is more competitive than LSE! I might consider taking a year out and then reapplying.

Economics With A Year Abroad (L101). I think they consider applications for this course alongside applications for the standard Economics (L100) course - but admit less for the L101. Either way, it is around 13 applicants per place overall.

I see, UCL is amazing! Although they do give out more offers per place than LSE so don't let the stats deceive you and the applicant pool may be weaker, but best of luck anyway!
