Why History? Can't imagine myself studying any other subject at university. I immensely enjoy History and I am looking forward to the long reading lists

Rejected by Oxford, and have offers from the remaining unis

I love the LSE History course, kinda regret not applying to it It's v competitive so congrats for offer!! Which are you firming btw?

I don't like the LSE course as much. I am going to firm UCL because I like it's course much more than LSE but im not going to officialy firm till March/April as I might change my mind

yeah it's definitely not for everyone, unless you're really into international relations in the modern period! ucl has much more variety and lets you explore other stuff tbh

theyre both excellent history schools so itll be great regardless

It's difficult because everyone tells me that turning down LSE is crazy . While I do like international modern, I really like my Medieval History, and history like Tudors,Eng Civ war, American Civ War that I wont be able to do in LSE

Where did you apply to?

ooooh deffo go for ucl if you like your medieval! i mean yeah, youll be turning down lse, but its ucl so it isnt like far off in terms of rep???

camb, ucl, kings, warwick, queen m! firming camb and insuring ucl. my camb offer is too difficult for me tho so might end up in ucl myself :P

Don't give in to any pressure regarding this. I know what it's like to turn down a very high-ranked university for a course you prefer, it's worth it.

Apparently, lots of people in my school get UCL through adjustment and in the last 15-20years only 2 people have gone LSE (more have gone Oxbridge wtf xD).

But I think I am certain that UCL is da way to go
