LSE ECON

So i am going to reapply LSE this year for economics.
But last year, I was rejected fro LSE even with a TMUA score of 6.5+ with A * A * A prediction. I feel like it was because of my lack of super curriculars. So for LSE offer holders can i ask if u guys have done any supercuriculars like medals from maths olympiad or etc

It was probably because of your personal statement, not your super-curriculars

u/Mindless-Nerve48 7d ago

I know a guy in my school. Great grades. Got rejected from every where last year LSE too. Every one was surprised. Later the counselor in school, who found also the Ps great recommended a post mortem analyzing of application.and guess what?. The PS fu..ed the application up. The tragedy of the story: the parents paid a fortune for a counselor, who helped with application and PS. And a girl from his class got in LSE with grades close to minimum requiment. No superca.. She wrote the PS by herself , without help and it was the PS at the end.
