<p>then u SHOULD take oxford!!! don't even think twice</p>
<p>I am still waiting on Stanford, Harvard, and the London School of Economics.... so I am considering all of my current and potential options. I got a full scholarship to McGill ... so it's very difficult (even though money isn't a hindrance on my part). I'll see what happens.</p>
<p>which course did u apply for at the LSE?</p>
<p>Law and Management... did you apply too?</p>
<p>i applied for government and economics, i got a conditional offer, a 4 and 5 on my APs</p>
<p>congratulations. i believe conditional offers are quite normal. good luck on the aps this year. </p>
<p>i applied a bit late, so i don't know when i will hear from them. hopefully i'll get some good words this week.</p>
<p>Be careful about choosing Oxford. A family friend went there, and she has said on numerous times that they exclude her from opportunities and university roles just because she is an American. Just something to think about. Oh, and Congrats :D.</p>
<p>are u going to take oxford's offer first or go for your other american schools</p>
<p>conditionaare what r mostly offered.
My cambridge acceptance needed my to get 4As in my CBSE Board exams..</p>
<p>ACornellA, she's a britisher herself...not american</p>
<p>Oh...wow, my mistake...disregard my comments (no school should be based on the experiences of only one person--even if I knew this one person); it's an excellent school anyway. :)</p>
<p>but i do agree with u...UK univs tend to be more hostile towards int'ls than US...i did a lot of research over the pros and cons of Cambridge and Cornell before choosing the latter...and one of the key con of Camb is the racism and treatment of foreigners</p>
<p>tell me one thing Jemima...these UK univs have many colleges under each university...thats kinda confusing...bec i applied as an open candidate...and they allocated me to Gonville and Caius...so...suppose someone were to graduate from G&C, would they have a G&C or cambridge degree???</p>
<p>I actually know very well about the british system. I applied just because. I am guessing you'd get a cambridge degree, while those who study at LSE receive an LSE-specific degree, instead of the University of London degree. I am very much confused, and I'll have trouble making decisions by the end of this week.</p>
<p>aww man...i thought LSE was only graduate. Is there a chance to still apply there? Or can you transfer there?</p>
<p>you can still apply, i think. but you'll be labeled as a "late applicant," which will definitely kill your chances. the school is already difficult enough to get in, and they'll set your app aside until all other apps are considered. if they still have a spot in a certain program, then you'll also be considered. </p>
<p>another option would be to take a year off and apply for next year. it's a 3-yr program (excluding french law), so you'll be graduating with the rest of your friends and still have a year to do internships, contemplation on life, etc. before going back to school.</p>
<p>LSE is significantly easier to get in for international students. I was reading the book "how to get into the top colleges" (or something like that) and it listed LSE's acceptance rate for natives to be around 7% while the acceptance rate for international students was around 40%. Interesting!</p>
<p>yo aunt, how much $$ is it, and its a good business undergrad right? i wanna go into corp. law as well, so its a good schoool huh?</p>
<p>gomestar, really? i never heard of that. hopefully i still have a good chance. </p>
<p>jokr95, i believe the tuition is a lot cheaper than those of ivy league institutions. however, you need to take care of the living in london, which is expensive. i did some calculations, and i believe you can live quite comfortably in london during the academic year for $45,000 including tuition. so the bottom line is, although the tuition may be cheaper, the living expenses will carry it up to the same level as ivy league colleges. </p>
<p>also, they have many degree programs, so you might want to check out <a href="http://www.lse.ac.uk%5B/url%5D">www.lse.ac.uk</a> for more information. the school as a whole is ranked 11th in the world, #2 in social sciences (behind harvard), and the #1 economic research institution in the world, beating IMF. also, lse graduates are highly sought after by employers (ranked #4 behind harvard, stanford, and mit, i believe). i'd say it's an excellent undergrad program.</p>
<p>no LSE's admission rate is around 8.4% percent overall I believe, there is no way the admission rate for international candidates is 40% since the school is more than 60% international and 40% admission rate for internationals averaged with 7% for natives would not get the overall admission rate of 8.4%.</p>
<p>i didnt pull that number out of my ass, i read it in the dang book!</p>
<p>i think for native students its probably between 3-4% admission rate, for internationals probably around 15%</p>
