So I actually applied for pure Economics, currently taking a gap year doing a few econ research assistantships. Graduated this past summer with a first in PPE at a London uni, with a large part of my degree focusing on econ and stats.

Offer rate was 45% in 2024. I hope it will be higher this year.

Seems like they take ages based on last year's thread with F&E taking the longest. Have another offer in place and need to pay a deposit so would be nice if they got back soon but not counting on it🤣
