Lse economics course selection

Hi what were your grades and what did you focus on to get into LSE

hi i ended up getting A*AB in my a levels and my course required AAB non-contextual, but I did apply with higher predicted grades which they definitely take into account. as im sure you know, the personal statement is such an important aspect of your application, so that should be your main focus. i have seen in the past that students with lower predicted grades ie. not 3 A*'s have gotten offers compared to those with 3A*'s, most likely because of the quality of their personal statement. you should engage in supercurricular activities such as reading/watching documentaries etc around your subject and mention your own personal thoughts and opinions about them in your ps. hope this helps!

EC1A5 and EC1B5 require barely any maths - if you can add numbers together, you will do just fine. All topics are covered graphically (like a-level econ). EC1A3 and EC1B3 both have quite a bit of maths in them. It's not particularly hard maths, but you need to be good at algebra (esp. for B3 as some of the questions can get quite involved) and differentiation. If you want an easy time, choose A5 and B5 but note that these might not be sufficient prerequisites for courses you might want to do down the line. If you want to keep your options open, choose A3 and B3.
