<p>Hey all. I have no clue how hard LSE is to get into so I'm just trying to get an idea of how realistic my chances are. I recently was accepted into St. Andrews with the Common App but decided to apply with the UCAS to LSE. So here's what I've got.</p>
<p>Possible majors:
International Relations
International Relations and History
Government and Economics
Government and History</p>
<p>I believe APs are a big deal so here is what I have/expect:
European History: 5
US History: 5
Comparative World Politics: 5
Calculus AB: 5
3d Design Portfolio: 4 (I know, I know, won't make a difference either way :P)
--------------------- My expected senior year APs
Environmental Science: 5
Statistics: 5
US Government: 5</p>
<p>And I'm taking 2 self studies to meet LSE's AP requirements.
World History: 5 (I've heard it isn't very bad, I looked through the practice test and determined that I would get a 4 without any studying)
English Lit: 5 (Going to come down to constant practice, I hear it's a bit tricky)</p>
<p>Now for my SATs which aren't as great:
CR: 740
W: 770
M: 680
Composite = 2190</p>
<p>SAT IIs
US History: 790
Math II: 690 :/</p>
<p>My school doesn't compute GPA but I don't think LSE looks at it either. Mostly A's and B's at a super hard private school...</p>
<p>And as for extracurriculars which they don't look at:
Debate team captain (national circuit TOC caliber team)
Model UN (won best delegate at a local conference and won an honorable mention at largest conference in the world)
Head of Tuesday Night Art (which is my community service endeavor)
Head of Conservative Club
plus some other smaller things that don't warrant much mention.</p>
<p>I'll probably have a relatively good personal statement, some of it might be a bit ripped from my St. Andrews app but who knows.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
