lse economics and economic history

Im in the same situation as you (LSE econ + econ history offer and UCL pure econ). I will definitely choose LSE

Is this course considered prestigious? It is an economics course AND economic history as a pose to something like pure economic history/ geography with economics. This means the modules intersect highly with the pure economics course and it has mostly the same maths content too with some differences (eg pure econ does econometrics 1 in year 1 and 2 in year 2 whereas my course would do both in year 2).
It had a 5% acceptance rate last year which makes it amongst the hardest to get into in LSE.
However im concerned about how employers may view it as a pose to pure economics. Joint courses seem to have a bad rep so im not sure.
I am choosing between UCL pure economics and this course at LSE, so insight would be appreciated thanks

Did you get an offer?

yes

Amazing. Can you tell me your stats, home/international?

This course is considered extremely prestigious, as it is a double honors where one of the honors is economics. LSE is sometimes considered the most prestigious and specified uni in the world for economics, and although the course is less prestigious that pure Econ at LSE, it’s just as helpful in terms of teaching quality and opportunities. I believe it is more prestigious than pure Econ at UCL. Congratulations on the offer, it’s truly exceptional, and it is my dream course

When did you get your offer?

I have. I'm international and still waiting, but something should come this week i think. Nice stats

hopefully u dont have to wait much longer, good luck! I think they havent started giving international students offers for this course yet (as far as im aware) so they probably have quite a few offers left to give.

Hello, hope everything went well with you on results day. This is a bit random and idk if you'll see this message but I'd really love to see your personal statement, as in the one that got you a place at LSE for Econ and Econ History. If you could message me privately that would be amazing. Thanks!

Just... Don't...

Why what happened 😭, can I still see your personal statement?

You would risk plagiarism.
