TMUA for LSE 2022

I have applied to LSE for Financial Mathematics and Statistics. I have achieved a rather mediocre score of 5.1 this morning. I was wondering whether or not I should release this score to LSE. It is not required for the course but they claim a good score can help in securing an offer. But will my 'okay' score negatively affect my chances?

Better not.

Hi, can I ask what you ended up doing and what was your outcome?

Yep, of course.

I decided against releasing my score and did not get the offer. However, I heard from friends that many people did get offers with similar scores to mine for courses ran by the maths department (5.0-5.5). So, looking back on it, probably should’ve submitted it though at the time I really wasn’t confident in my score.

I am now studying Mathematics with Economics at UCL.
