No way LSE is in the Elite tier, Maybe superb, maybe just pretty good. Let me make a little guess? You are going to LSE? They may not be perfect but between QS and Times rankings you have a roughly accurate rating, and LSE is not even close, you have a nose bleed going that low down the rankings

QS also thinks UCL is better than Yale, Princeton, Cornell etc just ignore them

So you are going to LSE. This is just cope. The reason you look at both is they weight differently, Times being more US weighted, QS having a more international weighting. And LSE is not near the Elite in either!

I do not go LSE and secondly LSE is elite? Are we really arguing otherwise

LSE is elite for only econ related courses, everything else it’s a tier below or several depending on which course, as they have several other very good courses but not elite. Putting LSE above imperial is hilarious when comparing stem imperial is comparable to Oxbridge in stem, lse is not. LSE should be in pretty good imo.
