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.
