LSE Maths with/and Economics 2016 applicants

To a certain extent, isn't it collectively speaking good that barely anyone (on TSR, at least) has received an offer yet for Maths with/and Economics? It means that LSE is still in the process of making the majority of decision, and so we all still have a chance to get an offer! haha :biggrin:

I like your thinking! Have you received other offers yet?

Haha thanks ;D

No, I haven't but I think that's because of the universities I applied for. Cambridge is going to let me know in January and I am sitting UCL's Arts and Sciences Test next week, so there is no way I can get an offer anytime soon :tongue:

I'm mainly applying to the US and their admissions decisions get released around March I think. (Waiting is so painful though ahhh)

What about you?

Ahh I see. The US wait is real haha. I got offers from Warwick and St Andrews (Maths), waiting on Oxford, Imperial and LSE haha

My wait isn't as real as yours though xD

There was someone on the LSE thread who got an offer for Maths with economics either last week or the week before

Received my long awaited rejection from LSE on the account that my PS wasn't good enough haha. I did send in a 100% maths PS with no competition mentions so blek :tongue:

Good luck to the rest of you!

Noooooo, I was hoping you would get in D: But I believe where-ever you end up, you'll do great things-- all the best for the future!! (Sorry this sounds so peppy but it is true)

(I also have a maths-heavy PS :tongue:

and less than 2 weeks before my 8 weeks are over, so I already prepared myself)

Don't worry! Im sure wherever you go you'll do amazing. Its amazing that you even applied to LSE. You'll do well in life and don't get mad at yourself or be sad because of the rejection :smile:

Nooo, unlucky man. I'm sure you'll do well wherever you go! You've scared me now, what's your grades again if you don't mind me asking? Pretty sure they're a lot better than mine :/

Haha thank you! Im waiting for Oxford and Imperial now. Hoping for offers from either or both!
My grades were 9A*1A at IGCSE level and A*aa for AS. UMS Physics 93, Maths 94, Chemistry 95. My stats are good but PS was very much catered towards a maths degree. Very little association of it with any application of sorts so it was destined for rejection. Don't worry! I'm sure that if you show some sort of good experience with Maths (competitions, university summer classes, etc.) You stand a much better chance than I haha

Did those that are still waiting for a decision receive only the 2 week email or both the 2 and 4?
One of my friends received both 2 and 4 and i only received the 2 week e-mail so just curious.

I only have the 2-week e-mail too. I wonder whether it's a good thing or not... Actually, when they sent me the e-mail before their christmas break, I still had 2 out of my 8 weeks left

I received my 8 week on the 2nd November meaning that last week before xmas should have been my last but as they said they want 2 more weeks for xmas closure, I assume my final 8th week will be the first week they open (next week). Anyone else in the same situation?

I received the 2 week email at the beginning, then the 8 week, and haven't received the 4 week email yet. I'm still waiting for a decision.

Edit: Sorry I didn't realise you meant the 2 week christmas email. I got the 8 week email on the 2nd of November as well; I'm in the exact same position as you.
