Is economics the easiest course to get in in LSE

I checked on Lse's website, according to what they showed on the website
It seems economics is statistically the easiest course to get in, so much easier than accounting and finance and Mathematics and Economics

i dont think its that easy

No, its the hardest.

Although courses like Management have more applications per place, I think the reality is that Economics is the hardest course to get into because generally speaking you are up against a much higher calibre of candidates. The average GCSE score is 8A*, I think.

So put simply, no it isn't.

I think it's the hardest. Only 8% of all applicants are successful, even less than that of Oxbridge.

Yes -you are right. It is very easy. Just fill the application and wait for few weeks and if your qualification matches the requirement - they send an offer by mail. You do not have even visit them - all from your cosy seat. :biggrin:

I was just joking. As I understood - it is very hard to get into LSE - economics. Some people on TSR even claim -it is easier to get into oxbridge. :smile:

Where do you get that from? Are you coming to that conclusion by comparing the number of applicants per place for each course?

I'd say economics is definitely the easiest. Anthropology and Human Resource Management tend be the two toughest courses to get into.

im glad to see sum1 has a good sense of humour, cus this is a shocking thread...LSE economics is the hardest by far..u need at least 8A*S just for them to look at ur application....where as acounting and finance, u can have lower grades....hence y more apply, cus they think they have a better shot...which is what my m8 did...

Don't diss my course :p:

;catfight; infact, don't diss anyone's course! Who cares which is the easiest and which is the hardest to get in? Does it really matter? What a ridiculous discussion. It seems there's a lot of people on TSR who seem to make themselves feel better by making their course/subject "superior" to everyone else's because "its harder to get in". Whatever happened to just doing a subject you enjoy?

I don't get angry often on this forum, but enough is enough!

^I'm not dissing your course sweetheart, it just happens to be one of the less competitive courses at LSE, for whatever reason, so I used it in a sarcastic response to the thread question. Do what you love and become the best damn social anthropoligst you can be!

I think saying how competitive your course is provides an excuse for being rejected.

And do what you love - take your patronising tone and sarcasm elsewhere.

?? I think you're misreading my posts..I'm honestly not trying to be a dick...LSE's anthro course is really interesting but not that many people apply to study anthropology compared to things like economics...that's it. I seriously believe in doing what you're interested in so my comment wasn't actually supposed to be sarcastic, just a bit exaggerated...
