How to get into LSE for Economics ( my tips )

[@ImogenWhite]

Great advice, Presence! Economics is so hard to get an offer from at LSE so your tips will really help others.

[@presence3589]

thank you, your videos are awesome and super informative too!

[@lsethesisscandalinmyplayli4120]

Can you tell LSE to face the truth and reality? Watching the video in my playlist to know the corrupt LSE of UK.

[@notbarcosworld]

Super informative stuff right here 🙌🏼

[@presence3589]

Thank youuuu

In economics, the supply-demand relationship has tipped so far in favour of the sellers that they can demand increasingly absurd contortions from would-be purchasers in the form of "personal statements." For the next year or two full-contact education has been replaced by on-line teaching and solitary study in spartan halls of residence, but at a much greater cost than that charged by the Open University, which holds no students hostage and actually knows how to deliver distance learning. Yet they all study from the same textbooks! Educational consumers may decide that they would rather do their on-line and solitary study in the comfort of their own homes (as they did for A Levels) and the universities may find they are not dispensing their favours to grateful supplicants, but more in the position of the other public utilities like npower and British Gas.

Great video presence, where can I find internships?

[@presence3589]

send me a message on insta if you need help with that

[@thejimjamshadowman6747]

Great vid! I'm doing Math, FM, Physics, Eco atm but rly wanna drop Phys I read on the website that Math, FM and an essay based subject (they said such as eng, eco or politics) is acceptable. Should I drop Phys? It's rly hard and I hate it

[@presence3589]

yea i get that - my advice is that you can drop it but another option is to make sure you get the grades for your offer because that's all that matters at the end of the day - if you got an offer you would need to get e.g A*aa with a pass in the 4th a level, so you could get a D+ for phys and still get in - up to you :)

Do u need to do a level economics to do economics at uni

no LSE do not have interviews

on there website it says "Further Mathematics at A-level is also desirable, and is acceptable for entry in combination with Mathematics and one other A-level". did they change their policy because you said they dont like it as a third?

Hey I got 3As in my As result in physics maths and economics, but I got a D in further maths. I really want to go to LSE but I’m confused whether I should keep or drop further maths

i got a C in FM XD still got in

[@subhanginibharati9987]

Hi Presence, I hope you are enjoying the programme at LSE. Quick question, how much weightage do they give to undergraduate score?

[@presence3589]

sorry I didn't understand the question? weightage for what?

[@subhanginibharati9987]

I meant how much do graduation marks affect our admission in LSE?

[@presence3589]

​@@subhanginibharati9987 it depends on the course, for econ you need A*AA for a levels

[@flower12348]

My daughter is going persue in economics, she prefers maths, ...what are the other you can prefer for her presence..pls advice her

[@presence3589]

There are many options, Economics is very mathematical but so are STEM subjects , finance , acturial science etc

[@presence3589]

Choose which one sounds more exciting to her I'd say

they care about maths mainly , i wouldnt say so as long as you can be creative and link it to econ in your PS

[@chumkikarmakar5380]

does LSE accept applied maths for economics major?

sorry I'm not too sure as I did A levels, i would email them and ask :)

[@kenza1334]

I want to do finance at LSE, is it ok if I don’t have some sort of small business going on?

[@presence3589]

yes of course! You don't need to have a business at all

[@presence3589]

@@kenza1334 i cant give you an answer as it depends - you want to write something that flows as well so don't include stuff just for the sake of it, but if you think it helps you show your interest in the course then you can always include it, check out my PS video, it might help give you an idea

[@mairasyeda2805]

hi, do you know anyone who got an offer without FM whose school did offer it?

[@presence3589]

not that i am aware of so far but its possible i guess

[@Lightflames2020]

Hey as I'm from India its compulsory in my school to have English as an A level so will - FM, Math, Eco and Eng be good. however i feel its a bit plain could pls give ur views or recommendation on it?

[@presence3589]

looks good to me, do what interests you

[@baddiexfilms4311]

My school does not offer further maths. I have to do it myself with the help of the normal maths teacher so I'm probably not gonna be taking it if that's a valid reason?

Is Economics at LSE very tough?

[@presence3589]

Honest answer : yes. But I would say it goes for most universities :) All about adapting to the next level

[@khadijaali4307]

is not getting the grade 9 in maths to do further maths at my sixth form ( i got an 8 which i did in year 10) a good enough excuse for not having done a level furthermaths . As they don’t let u in without the 9

[@presence3589]

Not entirely sure ( that's quite harsh tbh ) but there are people here who didnt do FM so dont let that stop you ! You could do a few stats further maths chapters and talk about it in your PS to show you are proactive even not doing FM ( just a suggestion not saying you need to ) I would say still go for it and they wont ask you why tbh so I dont think you will need to explain

Hi Presence, pls suggest us which is recommendable to take MAths+Economics+Business or MAths+Economics+Biology/Pschology/english she want to step into LSE. I heard few unis wont accept business..pls guide us

[@presence3589]

do you mean A levels? yea business and economics are seen as similar so it isn't recommended to choose business, I personally did maths / econ / psychology / further maths - economics is a very mathematical course so maths is important, if she can do further maths that will also be good
