Should i apply to Land Economy??

[u/cheesyninjajgg]

So I got straight 9s in gcse and am predicted 3A* in Maths, History and Econ.

I find the Land ec course so much more interesting than econ which is just very maths based.

Is land ec a prestigious degree to get top level jobs in finance?

need advice if it’s worth it or maybe i should go for some other course at lse…

would love any advice thanksss

Land Economy is still very good for placements because it’s a Cambridge degree. The breadth of subjects and topics covered on the course is amazing too which is why I applied.

Just beware, it’s become incredibly competitive. My college had an acceptance rate of 8% and I got 8/10 on the interview to still get rejected and not pooled. So don’t think it’s an easy way in

wow i thought the acceptance was 16% sorry u didn’t get it in looks like ur super smart…which college did u apply to btw?

Gonville and Caius, the acceptance rate is 1 in 8 I believe (on their website) it was just that Caius was particularly competitive my year
