Lse rejection

Hi everyone, Today I was sadly rejected by my dream university... LSE. I’m here to find some relief as it’s been really heartbreaking. I made the extraordinary effort to leave my house 2 years ago to come and live in the UK on my own leaving my entire life in Italy behind, with the only goal of getting into LSE. I feel my application was quite strong considering I was given offers by all the other unis I applied to, and in the rejection letter the reason for their decision was that although I met the entry requirements my subjects weren’t broad enough. This really breaks me cause I wasn’t asked any sort of documentation on what I studied previously in Italy (which is 12 subjects) and also I specifically called the admission office before applying 3 months ago just be assured my application was sufficient and I was told it was perfectly fine. Sorry for all the drama but I haven’t been so heartbroken in a long time. Any advice ?

Hello there! I was rejected from LSE too and it was absolutely heart-breaking. It was my dream university for years and I did as much as I could to make my application competitive. To be honest, the days after receiving my rejection letter were really mentally difficult.

I knew I wasn't the only applicant to get rejected but I still felt so alone, so I just wanted to let you know that you are most definitely not alone in feeling like this. There are loads of applicants with great grades and personal statements who have gotten rejected. I think it's very important to be proud of yourself for having an application that made you apply to LSE.

Personally, I've found another great way of handling rejection is to fall in love with one of the universities that have granted you an offer! Find out the course details, the opportunities for summer abroads, work placement, attractions you can visit around campus and societies.

You can also apply to LSE for summer school or for further study in the future.

The heartbreak does eventually fade and you'll start to be excited for the path ahead of you. LSE is a wonderful university but I'm sure that a hard working individual such as yourself will succeed in whichever university you decide to go to. I hope this helps

What did you apply for

What do you mean subjects werent broad enough?

What did you apply for and when?

I don’t know ? lol I guess it has to do with the combination of subjects but the thing is they told me it was alright

Hi- I got rejected today too for the exact same reason- to me it sounds like a bit of a cop out excuse, and I assume they had to be harsh on offers as they had such a large amount of applicants this year. As you've said, you have offers from other unis, and I am sure you will love the one you end up at, as you picked it for a reason. Besides, LSE has its own flaws, which aren't shared by other universities. Wish you the best

that sucks...

What subjects did you do for A level and what were your predicted?

Economics, maths and business

Hi Willy,
Do you think you would wanna go to LSE exclusively or any UOL is fine?
And is Politics and Economics the only one you would have wanted?

I just wanna back track a bit maybe this would help
