Hey what were your GCSE and AS grades?

Hey at GCSE I got 2Cs, 3Bs, 3As and 4A*s not the best but at AS I got an A in psychology, A in sociology and B in geography with predictions of AAA.

I’m probably proof they don’t just look at grades as I’m sure there are people who achieved more highly than I did, so if your grades aren’t all As and A*s don’t panic!

Aha my school made me do 12 certainly wasn’t choice😂 I sent my applications mid to late November if I remember correctly and I think they replied in January they took the longest to reply out of all of my choices but I knew they would
guys omg i havent heared anything except that my application is passed to the department for further assessment.. im an international applicant btw, so no gcse grades, only predicted A levels of AAA. are they gonna reject me omggg so nervous!!!!??
BTW if we get accepted (after achieving the required a level grades ofc), are we allowed to ask for a course transfer?? im thinking of switching to Government! BUUT, min grades is higher (AAA) than Social policy/Govt (AAB)... in addition, i was thinking to deferred my entry too if i get accepted, do you think they would let meeeee??? (i didnt choose to defer my entry in UCAS since i just decide it a week ago..) Anyone knows the answer to theseee??? help me pleeeeaseee!!

Hey wishing you the best of luck with your application! in terms of transferring course I’m not sure that is possible at LSE especially if the requirements are different as most courses fill up very quickly but if you do achieve AAA it’s definitely worth trying! Not sure about deferred entry I’m afraid but you can email them they’re usually good at responding to emails from my experience. Where else have you applied?
i applied to glasgow, edinburgh, birmingham and leeds but im going to withdraw my leeds application since im not taking math for a levels

Alright lads, I got an offer for the same LSE Social Policy w/Government course too. :smile: Would be great to get to know the people who've gotten offers! I'm going to struggle between picking LSE or Warwick.
Let's just get the grades now!
Congrats man. Also its a pretty straightforward choice between LSE and Warwick imo. And btw, when did you apply?

Good luck choosing haha, both are great places but I would choose LSE personally. In terms of getting to know people, could make a whatsaap group chat and share the link here or something.
