Official LSE Applicants+Decisions 2009

What happened to your Open Day offer ?

Turned into a rejection Got it today; was actually relieved that it wasn't an LSE rejection

Hopefully Friday brings good news; alas I say that each week.

Is LSE left-wing school or a right-wing one? I know for a fact that ALL universities in the UK inevitably fall under those three catagories: 1) a bastion of Labour; 2) a bastion of the Tories; 3) mixed.

How many applications per year does LSE receive? 12 thousand? How many departments are there in LSE? Let's say 12, which means that every department gets 1000 applications. So out of 1000 applicants per department you've only got a few active members on this thread? I'd say there are only 20 active members on this thread - no more. And where are the rest 980?
So, you see, you will never get the true picture of offers being made or rejections being conveyed, because you don't have at least a representative sample of those who applied.
Out of those 980, five hundred might have already been rejected, and you'd never know, because they don't even know that such a forum exists!

Er...goes without saying doesn't it really?

Sorry, Mariachi, what does that supposed to mean? I REALLY have no idea. Is it Labour? Is it Tory? What makes you think so?

Let me just own you please. TBH you are asking for it. Firstly, why do you assume applications are divided equally amongst departments? (rhetorical question if you didn't realise) secondly, how did you come to decide that 20 is not a valid sample size. There are plenty of statisticians (rather, anyone doing at least S4 level stats that could show some pretty surprising techniques to show that a relatively small sample can prove a fair bit). Also, think about it a bit. I am not interested how everyone is in terms of LSE offers, just the good applicants. The majority on TSR, excluding yourself seem to be very bright and as a result are the real 'competition' Therefore, I don't care about the 500 that have been rejected, I care about the people on here that are likely to have a chance of being accepted.

Besides, the fact that you don't know ANYTHING about English gramar just shows what a bright person YOU ARE. Your sentence should have read:

"The majority on TSR, excluding yourself, (COMMA !!!) seem to be very bright /../". You see?
I don't think you stand the chance of being admitted to the school if you ever applied to it.

They don't need people who don't know how to spell or where to put a comma.

I'm sorry, I just found that quite amusing and rather ironic.

it's like rain on your wedding day

a free ride, when you've already paid...

LOL. That's only YOUR subjective opinion. It's up to me to either rule it as a valid, or an invalid one. And guess what....I think you're in the wrong. Besides, the fact that you don't know ANYTHING about English gramar just shows what a bright person YOU ARE. Your sentence should have read:

Ironically thats not irony

To be fair, the subject of discussion is on maths/stats rather than english.

I'm glad you did My grandma always used to tell me 'never trust a man who doesn't know where to put a comma'. She was right So now, when I find a new man in my life, he has to pass an oral, as well as a written exam The written exam consists of a 1500 words' essay with no commas in it. Most of them fail
