Applying to LSE from Germany

Hey there,
I have a question regarding my chances of getting in to LSE. I am from Germany and have finished my Abitur. I decided to take a gap year and also want to apply to LSE for Politics and economics or PPE (have not decided yet). I reach the requirements but did not get the best grade possible in the Abitur exam (I reached 1.3/1.0).
How are my chances of getting in? Is it even worth applying?
Thank you very much in advance,
Felix

According to their admissions pages, 1.3 in Abitur is considered equivalent to A*AA which I think is the highest standard offer they have, so I think you should be fine :smile:

You would need to meet any subject requirements (e.g. maths particularly) though - not quite sure how that works out though!

Lieber Felix, die Noten sind in Ordnung, daran sollte es nicht scheitern 🙂 Hast du denn irgendwas sonst gemacht, Ehrenämter, Praktika, Projekte o.ä.? Das drumherum ist denen halt suuuper wichtig. Falls es nicht klappt, kann ich dir sehr den PPE BA in Düsseldorf nahelegen! Den hab ich jetzt fertig und gehe mit Stipendium für meinen Pol Econ Master an die LSE. Viel Erfolg dir auf jeden Fall!
