    Your interest in economics is dripping from every word you wrote in the statement. Those precise statements and solid words really amazed me. You deserved what you got.

    The LSE wait is killing me, so was checking out successful personal statements, I have to say this is the best personal statement I have ever seen!!

    I go to a grammar school - I have read many personal statements that get into the top unis. Yet I can say without any hesitation that this the single best personal statement that I have ever read. Respect.

    HELP!!! When applying, which subject is more desirable - further maths (in Ireland it’s applied maths) or physics.
    We need to do min 6, I do
    Maths, Econ, Applied Maths, Business Studies, Biology, French, Geography.

      Anything related to the coure - books , activities you've done that confirms your interest in the course , explore the subject anyway you want and write a PS remembering the goal is to persuade the tutors that you really want to do the course and are a good candidate

    PLEASE HELP. I am currently doing maths, economics and biology for A levels in my final year. I am currently predicted 3 As (although I am contesting for an A* in maths).
    My current Uni choices are :
    LSE, UCL, Warwick, Bristol, Edinburg.
    In your honest opinion, is that too ambitious for my grades and should I consider swapping out LSE for a lower option.
    Thank you and great video.

    • @presence3589
      @presence3589  Před 2 lety

      depends on the course, for econ it might be harder but there are other less competitive ones, I don't want to discourage you from applying to where you want and disclaimer I'm not an admissions officer so my answers may not be correct - feel free to message me on insta to chat

    • @scottydog6181
      @scottydog6181 Před 2 lety

      Hey, I am in currently the same position here and I was predicted AAA originally but got my A*AA prediction. I have just sent off my application and my choices are Oxford, Cardiff, Bristol, Southampton and Strathclyde. I believe you should have one or two high unis, one or two unis at your predicted grades and possibly a safety choice. This is however totally your choice and if you think you can achieve those grades then go for it! Another outcome is that is you don't get into your unis, you can always take a gap year and apply the next year. I would possibly recommend a safety choice but most importantly apply to where you want to go to. It is not always about the rankings (which I appreciate is a major factor) but do realise you will be spending 4 years there so make sure you want to go there. (Also I might be wrong however I believe Warwick is A*A*A for Economics but this might range for different courses.) Wish you best of luck!
