Oh alright then - just like ^ I'm curious 20/02/1982


Let's have a look at your file, then :smile:

1) 6 x 11 x 89 = 5874
2) We really need a year to work with, so 5+8 = 13 & 74 = 1374
3) In 1374AD, the illness 'dancing mania' began in Aix-la-Chapelle
4) St. Vitus soon became the patron saint of the dancers
5) LSE alum Mick Jagger dances on stage all the time
6) Jagger's band released 'You Can't Always Get You Want' and 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction'
7) UNSUCCESSFUL, I'm so sorry :frown:

Again though, LSE isn't in your sig :p: :biggrin:

General note to ALL applicants: LSE does consider every application. Don't worry if you have yet to receive word from us; it will come!

They place a lot of emphasis on GCSEs in comparison to other unis.

I just love this forum, because it's a guaranteed belly laugh every time. Whenever I snoop around these parts I find some new stupid thread trying to sneak a peek into the minds of those practitioners of the dark arts that LSE admissions tutors are. Seriously, get real - just like any institution out there that chooses its student/graduate/whatever intake, LSE has some stated admissions policies and some unstated ones. Do your best and stop guessing at what they are.

Get lost. I was just interested. You would be a fool not to try and find out any unstated admissions policies if they were available.

na ur the fool mate

Loads of people have been trying to figure out LSEs admissions criteria for ages now. It changes so much that no one apart from the tutors themselves would know. Some say GCSEs, others say dates :smile: we will never know and you should stop wasting time trying to find out

No, you would be a fool to figure that what you're gaining by posting this kind of question is greater than what you're losing in terms of wasting everyone's time - including yours. And "get lost" ? Who the hell do you think you are ? What is this, the ghetto ?
