my stats:
a levels: 4A* Econ, Maths, EPQ, Russian and an A in psychology
unis: LSE, KCL, Bristol, Manchester, QMUL.

got offers from QMUL and Manchester so far
i wonder when these will start coming out
Does the dept. of economic history send out all offers for their courses together? Or is it course by course, i.e. waves of Economic History, another wave of Economics and Economic History, etc.

It’s more like offer by offer I think, particular ppl go trough different courses and send out as soon

Last time I checked a spreadsheet, I thought I saw majority of offers come for these subjects in April last year

What subjects do you take at A level and predicted grades?
Does anyone actually have 50 percent economic history, and even if not what topics did you talk about in PS. Did you also include your opinions on issues?
And should we expect competition and offer rates to be even lower this year than previous years, or will they likely increase the number of spaces as well for Economics and Economic History at LSE?

What did you talk about if you didn't do 50% economic history?

Economics a lot of people talk about i presume rather than economic history? Do we expect offer rate to be slightly higher this year?
