Rejected from Warwick and LSE :(

Hey guys i recently got my LSE rejection for Economics and i was already rejected last week from Warwick for economics. These 2 were my dream universities to study economics at and i feel devastated. I got AAAA at AS in maths furher maths physics and economics and predicted A*A*AA in these 4 subjects respectively. I really dont feel like going to a lower tier university with my grades since i have worked waay to hard for them. Is it worth reapplying to these 2 provided i meet my targets?

You will not be getting there, get over it. Just focus on your best opportunity at the moment, not everyone with perfect grades gets a place, many good candidates are rejected due to extreme competitiveness of both the course and universities you have applied for. Going to s "lower tier" uni wouldn't harm your chances of employment with such A-levels and considering you have applied to Warwick and LSE your "lower tier" unis aren't lower tier at all. (Unless you applied to Coventry, or Man Met, which you probably didn't).
Also, imagine if you reapply next year and get rejected again would you apply the next year after that? It is not worth going through UCAS again.

Did u retake? And yh your not giving me hope I haven't heard back from those two and now not looking forward to it

I have an offer from Bristol and still waiting on durham and Kings college and maybe you are right going to warwick or lse is not going to make or break my career, i just heard so many good things about the 2 universities and the fact that they never dropped out of the top 4 for economics since the invention of league tables which made it very appealing.

I can relate to the situation, got rejected by Warwick for Law. But even if you are a great candidate (which I am sure you are) odds are still not in your favour, because there will be about 10 people with similar abilities for a single place. Honestly, teaching is likely to be the same, so will be the employment opportunities. Don't just put emphasis on the name of the university and enjoy your course. Maybe visit Bristol and see how you will like it? As some unis may be superior on paper but you may not feel like it personally. I am sure you will have a great experience going to either of the aforementioned universities.

Btw were else did you apply to and when did you apply?

Don't re-apply. I got bad AS grades so got rejected from LSE before the two week email straight up. Ended up doing well and getting AAA (standard offer for LSE) so I decided to take a gap year and reapply and still got rejected 6 weeks into the 8 week email. I was absolutely devastated. I only re-applied to try to get into LSE (they don't do adjustment whereas UCL, my second choice, does) so essentially I wasted a year

Applied to warwick, lse bristol, durham and kings i sent off my app a out a month again i would say and my GCSEs were 9A*s and 2As.

Thank you! And i am sorry for your rejection from Warwick they are indeed very selective. But k guess you are right the quality of education wont be much different iand making decision purely because of the name is probably a bad idea. Btw you are also an applicant for a university student?
