Lse rejected

I’m so confused as I got rejected today and it say unsuccessful because i don’t meet minimum gcse English and maths requirements when I did bc it same entry for kings whixh I did meet and got an offer for - why couldn’t they have just said it was competitive ?? this just means they prob didn’t even check anything else they just saw gcse and said no straight away
feel very depressed and hopeless as I can’t believe everything went to waste

What were your A-Level or IB subjects and prehdicted grades?
Which course did you apply for?
I wonder if you wrote a 'stellar' UCAS Personal Statement?
Which other university offers do you hold?

Buisnes , econ , maths A*A*A - a in econ but busienss and maths A* - my reason for not doing fm was explained by my school due to my health beginning of yr . I applied for math,stat,business and don’t know what is a stellar application bc I’m so done with all this bc it’s just my fault I rlly did fail and stuck I have - king, queen and Edinburgh as offers

That sucks.
You seem to be saying that you know that your GCSE Maths and English grades meet LSE's requirements because King's made you an offer. I'm not sure I understand your logic.
LSE say here that, "All applicants who have taken GCSEs/iGCSEs are expected to have at least grade B/grade 6 in GCSE English Language and Mathematics or the equivalent. For some programmes this may be higher. Exceptions are made for applicants with extenuating circumstances."
• For which course did you apply at LSE?
• For which course did you apply at King's?
• What are your GCSE Maths and English Language grades?

I mean there so many issues to begin with on I think so my school as well bc didn’t think they woudl care thsi much about English since I got 5 language and 6 in lit which is a b bc in my exam I did have to leave due to my health but didn’t include this at all as I didn’t know back then about extenuating circumstances besides that kings gave me offer but not LSE - bedside that I know I’m not cut out for it but reasoning was tooo specific and weird whxih made me upset as it’s frustrating to know your not good enough but knowing reasoning contradicts there own requirements is even worse . Either way thankyou for responding do appreciate it

OK. Well at least their reason for rejecting you is consistent with their entry requirements: your GCSE English Language grade is below their minimum.

What uni you get into doesn’t define you as a person. You’re good enough, don’t let the rejection get to you that much. I promise you’re being saved from a uni experience of having no social life and being overworked. You can 100% get into any career with the current uni offers you have, just focus on spring weeks and summer internships.

Business and Economics should never be offered together?! 😧 Your choice of subjects was perhaps too specialised? ☹️
KCL, QMUL and Edinburgh are excellent universities as well. I would choose KCL or Edinburgh. 🙂

But I don’t understand a B is also a 5 and even if you saidno this isn’t the case I woudl be rejected by kings they havesame entry .

Unfortunately, as a B could be a 5 or a 6 (see diagram below from here on the Ofqual web site), universities can decide for themselves what they treat as being equivalent.

They key thing here is that you don't have a grade B anyway - you have a grade 5. LSE say, "All applicants who have taken GCSEs/iGCSEs are expected to have at least grade B/grade 6 in GCSE English Language and Mathematics or the equivalent." The fact that they equate a grade 6 to a grade B and that you equate a grade B to a grade 5 isn't really relevant.
You haven't mentioned the course to which you applied at King's so I can't comment on how they have expressed their GCSE requirement. However, they use the same B = 6 equivalence that LSE do, according to this table:

You say above that "it same entry for kings whixh I did meet and got an offer for" and "kings they havesame entry". Do you have a link to where King's specify the GCSE Maths and/or English requirements for your course?

It’s on there we site when you go to entry requirements section it’s the same yet given an offer and one for LSE I just find it really sad as I missed around 20 mins on my English exam on that day due to my physical health yet my school didn’t report this matter and I didn’t worry to much as I didn’t think it would affect me and also so many advisors said to me due to ur background and income status they should understand that it’s was difficult and allow you which is why I didn’t resit English language- I think given alevel combination I woudl not be given a place however it just really made me feel useless as someone got an offer yesterday for same course MSB on student room so it means that they didn’t even read mine which is what upset me as it must of been an automatic response to my failure

It's all very well saying "It’s on there we site when you go to entry requirements section" but we don't know for what course you applied. Different courses have different GCSE requirements at King's. That why, in my first reply, I asked "For which course did you apply at King's?" and why above I asked for "a link to where King's specify the GCSE Maths and/or English requirements for your course".
I think your assumption that they didn't look past your GCSE grades is likely correct. Universities don't tend to be flexible with GCSE grades - especially the very competitive ones like LSE.
Which of the offers you've received do you think you're going to firm? Or haven't you decided yet?

It’s math stat, business it’s there I’m just confused on however other pl with lower gcse managed to get in bc that means they did check there ps but why not me like yesterday around time I got rejected someone on here got and offer like why didn’t they straight away reject me and say you just cannot do it . Like be honest given my stats i wouldn't have been given an offer right ? So I’m always the weaker candidate but the gcse just made me hate thsi so much as I was told being from school and background of low income and my health condition on my doctor report I would just be considered . For kings it’s maths and queen it’s maths and for Edinburgh it’s math aswell but haven’t decided just feel so lost and dumb for making this mistake as I trusted other pl words

Hello again so just checked for kings isnt Grade B or 6 for maths and English same as LSE and got the offer and anything u for maths / finance all have same requirements you go to maths - press entry requirements and it says further info and it’s a table of info same as LSE requirements - https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/how-to-apply/english-language-requirements

This is what confuses as LSE then does see 5 as a B/C so upset as to why like I just would of been happier with rejection knowing they read my pas even for 10 seconds but they didn’t . Maybe they saw my week combo of alevels and gcse was a massive disappointment which is understandable bc it’s my fault

But I don’t understand a B is also a 5 and even if you saidno this isn’t the case I woudl be rejected by kings they havesame entry .
