Hi guys!
I am applying for Philosophy and Economics, let me know if you are too!
Haven't been to any open days, but I am hoping to get into LSE. I'm just really nervous about the whole situation!!
Grades are A*A*A, GCSEs all A*, and I guess its all down to the personal statement!
Good luck everyone!

Very nervous for LSE, since it’s so unpredictable

Well your grades look amazing, so I’m sure you’ll have a good chance! Good luck :smile:
