Anybody else marginally failed to meet their offer?

username145243

Just wondering if anyone is waiting for LSE to reconsider them?
How long do you think this will take?

sorry btwizzler, chances are that it is very unlikely. the school is highly over subscribed.x

Well no, marginal fails get reconsidered quickly. The liklihood in a poster subject (Economics, Law, M+E) is very very low though.

they said they'd considered it but they had 'very little flexibility this year'.

A friend missed her offer of 3As for Maths and Business. She got AAB with a B in French. And LSE said no.

my friend managed to get in, she missed her A grade in Econs and got a B. it was for the business statistics course though, not sure of how competitive it is.

OP

Yep I've called them and they said I should get the results of my remark, and if that's favourable I would be accepted again.
Missed it by 1 BLOODY POINT!

LSE made the following anouncment on their website

Confirmation
Another record breaking year for A level passes has meant the School is already full for undergraduate study commencing in October 2008. In the vast majority of cases, applicants have met or exceeded all of their offer conditions. This means that LSE has not entered Clearing this year for any course.

The School would like to congratulate all successful students and looks forward to welcoming them to LSE in a few weeks time.

Unfortunately some applicants did not meet the conditions of their offer and, due to the high success rate, many will be disappointed that the School has been unable to confirm their place. The School wishes these students every success at their 'Insurance' institution or in their search for a course through Clearing.

If you are unsure whether your place has been confirmed, please do not telephone the office but check the status of your application via the UCAS Track website.

If you have been successful and your place has been confirmed, there is no need to contact the School at this stage. A Welcome pack will be sent out from 20 August and accommodation details, where appropriate, will also be confirmed. More information is available on the New Arrivals web-pages.

Applicants who have not yet received a decision from the School should continue to check UCAS Track on a daily basis as we are aiming to make decisions on all applications as soon as possible.

Probably means that most people who marginally miss the grades won't get in as they are full

Did you order a priority remark? The results of these should come back by 31st August. If you ordered a normal remark, the don't come back until the first couple of weeks of September.

LSE will only reinstate your offer if you get them the results of the remark by 31st August, so it might be worth chasing it up if you're not sure what remark you got!

Damn i got a friend who marginally missed the grade.

It's getting harder to be reconsidered since almost every course is over-subscribed :frown:

I've got 2A, B (missed A by 2 UMS) and unknown in psychologyb(but definitely A or B)

The problem is I did not meet the english requirement for international students, but they said just send it and they are still considering me....

I thought they give out AAB offers for Law. Lizzyrocks was asked to get AAB. So hopefully you might still get in

They give AAB to very few people, its mostly AAA offers for Law.

correct me if im wrong..but i thought they only give AAB to someone who has does further maths - because that means they already have an A at maths A-level when they apply so they're basically asking for AAAB really?

Ouch that must hurt. Probably depends on how many spaces they got left. If they are full then they may not let you in

they said they will consider mine until my ielts report arrives, which means I might get an answer on 31st Aug if the letter arrives on the 30th T____T
