Lse 2024

I got an offer for LSE philosophy and econ last year but I missed my offer and got AAB. Would it be worth reapplying for a different course at LSE with the AAB minimum requirement? Or is it too competitive? just wanting to know whether achieved has more weight than predicted.

Update: I got in again lol

Hey , i wanted to ask how you structured your ps for philosophy and economics and what did you do as a supercurricular
Thank youu
and about your problem i think it would be pretty competitive seeing as others may have all A* or A so you might consider resitting one or two in your gap year

Honestly my PS was super personal it was about my background and I just linked it to the things I did - EPQ and a MOOC. Lol. Good luck :smile:

what were you predicted grades initially and what subjects did you take?
i think it would depend on if ur predicted gardes were rlly high, they would have taken that into consideration when giving you an offer. you can always re sit during your gap year to match with your previous predicted grades.

my predicted was one above each of my grades lol. I was predicted a*a*a... but lse don't like resits so idk if its just better to apply with actual grades. they might just automatically reject due to resit

idk for sure their view on re sits but if you did further maths and were predicted an A/A*, they may have viewed that as a merit to ur application, if u were doing a course w econ and maths.
if u were doing fm, and wanted to resit maybe that could be a plus, if u got a b in that subject, and want to do smth related to econ at uni
this is just my opinion tho, i may be wrong

There are other courses that take AAB especially with contextual admissions in the LSE

It’s not highly likely. I know people that have been rejected with 4a*s (including further maths). If you’re not doing further maths, I’m not going to lie, I don’t think you would stand a chance but if one is further maths then you might as well give it a shot unless all your unis are relatively aspirational. LSE is very random so you never know but would definitely not recommend bothering applying without further maths. I might be wrong as this is from other people’s experience and not my own so I don’t want to lead you in the wrong direction. Hope it works out for you though and good luck!
