I am planning to apply for pure economics with 3A*s and an A in FM. Can anyone currently in LSE tell me wt offers did lse give? is it just the stated requirement of A*AA? Cuz i find FM difficult and time consuming. Is it that if i get A*AA and A* in maths, as long as i get a pass for FM, i would be admitted? I dont want to spend most of my time solving really hard maths questions. Would lse ever give offer with specific requirement with Fm? thanks

hii i'm applying for Accounting and Finance, my other options are KCL, Manchester, QM and Birmingham
my gcse grades are A*8887777B6 but I actually sat the exams instead of getting predicted grades cause I'm homeschooled its complicated lol . my a level predictions are econ (A*), politics (A*) and maths (A) and I've done AS history (b) plus Chinese language proficiency exams so hopefully that's enough to get in :")

Damn you’re really smart! And you actually sat your exams! I feel a bit inadequate I can’t lie.

I’m applying to do A&F too but I think you could do better than QM and Birmingham, what about Bristol and Warwick?

If you don't have a valid reason for not taking FM you basically haveno chance of actually getting in. Only 5% of people without further maths get in and they all have goods reasons

Where did you get that statistic from?

Theres a user called helpinglucy or something similar who goes to LSE who gave that stat. I've seen similar but slightly different states around. Lucy gave 40% with further 5% without but I've been 50/10 splits and things like that
