Personal Statement for LSE

I’ve heard many people saying that LSE practically tell you what to write on you personal statement on their website, and that since they place such a heavy emphasis on the PS that making it tailored to the LSE course is the most optimal.

However, I’m a little lost on how to go about doing either of those things. Can someone provide some more detailed/specific advice for PS for LSE.

I’m applying for economics :smile:

btw the others im applying to are Oxford E&M, UCL econ, Imperial econ data finance, and a safety for pure econ. So my PS must be suitable for those too. But LSE is my top choice.

LSE looks for 3A* predicted grades and a 'stellar' UCAS Personal Statement as the deciding factor in making an offer. Because almost everyone is predicted 3 or 4 or more A* grades at A-Level. ☹️
