congrats on your offer! I really want to study actuarial science at lse in future. I heard they really focus on the personal statement and I really wonder how you relate your subjects in a-levels with actuarial science. Can you share some details of your personal statement? I really want to read whole essay, could you please send it to me if you don’t mind? I would really appreciate on it! Email address : [email protected] Thanks!

Hi, this is a a student in college currently doing Maths, further maths and physics in A-Levels

Since I really want to study Actuarial Science at LSE, I really wonder how you wrote Personal statement related to those subjects With Actuarial Science.
I was considering about engineering course when I first started A-Levels (and those subjects combination is for most engineering students) and chose those subjects, but I found out that I am a person who actually super interested in statistics-related area in year 13. I decided to pursue my degree in statistics area. But I am not so sure I will gonna relate the science subjects to this field.

I really Hope you do share about your details of your personal statement, I would really appreciate that!

I really want to see your whole statement! Please send me it via e-mail if you really don’t mind!!!!! My email address : [email protected]
Thank you for reading my message!

Just to say, your Personal Statement shouldn't be about your A-level courses - it's fine not to mention them at all if they're not relevant to Actuarial Science. You just need to talk about the subject you are applying to study at university, and how you have developed your interest in it outside of school. This can be through reading books, learning about mathematical models, work experience, watching documentaries, listening to podcasts etc.

By the way, LSE are not lenient on grades. You're out if you miss them. I got A*AB and needed AAA, as did my friend, and we were both rejected, regardless of the fact that I had multiple extenuating circumstances. They don't care.
