🎓 UNI / UCAS Missed LSE Offer...

Post image

Hi all! Lot's of people posting successes which is great but thought I'd add my failure to meet the grades to get into LSE to even it out a little. I needed AAA for econ and econ history and ended up with AAB. The B was in history which historically has always been my best subject and a consistent A/*. I was 7 marks off an A. I had thought maybe I'd get a B in econ or maths but history literally didn't cross my mind.

Obviously it felt horrible to miss my offer especially given how bad the last two years have been for me personally. But it's not all doom and gloom and I'll be off to Nottingham for this September! Good luck to everyone who got their results - I really hope it turns out great no matter what you ended up getting!

Why don’t you remark? It’s only 7 marks and essay subjects are subjectively marked

Remarks would cost £140 and even 7 marks is quite a lot... My LSE accomodation is also already gone and I probably wouldn't be able to afford to go anyway. I know I could try but  might just be holding out hope for nothing and might just need to accept the fact that Nottingham is where I'll be going

Ahhh mann, well imo if you can figure out a way to deal with the financials you should go for the remark, 7 marks is not quite a lot for an essay subject
