International student or home student

Hi guys, I was just wondering whether it’s easier to apply for economics ( oxbridge, LSE….) as an international student or a home student?

International, why?

Oxbridge doesn't admit as many International students as the LSE. Also, just under 70% of LSE undergraduate intake is Chinese, so you would probably be accepted by LSE for Economics providing you have a 'stellar' UCAS Personal Statement as well as excellent grades.

You mean Chinese nationality? Or like just Chinese . Cuz I’m a Chinese with UK nationality. And I wanna go to LSE, but I also have to consider that other unis like Cambridge etc. may prefer home student more so I’m quite struggling

Chinese from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia. But there are a considerable number of Home British Chinese students accepted by the LSE each year too. 🙂

Just to add that you don't really get to choose your fee status in any meaningful way. You select Home/International as part of the application process, but unis complete their own fee assessment in any case.

Yes, but I can choose whether to apply as an intl student or home student by deferring or not

I’m so curious, why do they like Chinese student so much😂

For Oxford and Cambridge it is about 15% to 20% depending on the course. 😀 lol
But the LSE is very popular with Chinese students as they gain a hugely 'lucrative' career.

So not only Chinese nationality? But also Chinese with uk nationality??

The last time I looked at Cambridge, it made almost 800 offers to Chinese students and 500 were accepted. That was for 2021 and it is just International students?! 😧 lol
Because China has a 350 million population of Middle Class citizens, that probably explains why they can pay the expensive tuition fees?! 😉

May I ask where you got this data?

Ohh hahahaha cuz students in China who apply for uk universities are all super rich hahaha. So is the expensive fee the reason why uni’s like Chinese international students😂😂😂

They are more intelligent than most students too. Because Chinese students usually score perfect 800 score in the Math test of SATs!!! 😀 lol
Also, the fact there is a 350 million Middle-Class population now in China means there are so many millions of rich families who can afford to pay £30,000 -£40,000 a year tuition fees often more depending on the course?!
