LSE economics and data science

Hi everyone, I could really use some advice right now. I got 3 A*’s in my a levels in maths, further maths and economics. I’m taking a gap year and deciding on a combination of courses at different universities to apply to. I’m really stuck because I was also predicted 3 A*’s but only got into queen mary I think because my personal statement was super basic.

I’m thinking to apply to LSE for economics and data science but I haven’t heard from anyone who’s actually doing this course and was wondering if it’s realistic for me to get in, I’ll be doing my tmua in January and my GCSE grades are 999998877

LSE love applicants offering the TMUA admissions test. I wonder did you sit the TMUA test last year? 😧

Also, your UCAS Personal Statement must be 'stellar' and unique.

Write about 3 different topics about the books you've read perhaps?
