Hello,
First of all: sorry for the long post :/
I am a prospective undergrad student for econ from Germany. I plan to apply at LSE, UCL, Warwick, Nottingham. My 5th choice initially was Durham, but I would love to study in London, so I currently prefer the BSc Economics and Economic History (VL31) course at LSE.
I read a couple of posts here on the issue of applying for two courses at the same uni. Does it make a difference in my case that they are offered by two different departments?
My personal statement is tailored to econ, but there are one or two elements which relate to EH. Also, I am definitely going to overachieve the lower entry requirements on the course (could this compensate for the PS?).
What really matters to me is that applying for two courses at LSE doesn't decrease my chance of being offered a place at all. In that case, I would only apply for BSc Economics.
Thanks in advance!
