<p>Don't worry <em>that</em> much about EC's. Getting good ones is good, yet don't let them interfere with your grades too much. LSE is very academical and so they'll scutinize your grades more than your EC's. This is because in England, there aren't too much oppurtunities for EC's etc.</p>
<p>Quick questions, im applying as a first year even though I am going to have completed 2 years of undergrad at the end of next semester in a us university. As im filing out the ucas I see that there is nothing mentioned about where to send HS and College transcripts to? Also for the reference I have about 10 teacher/professor recomendations should i just mail them? so confused </p>
<p>Also chance i have a 3.4 hs gpa with no AP’s. But a 3.768 college gpa with 44 credit hours including calc 1 ,stats, acct 1 and 2, quant, micro and macro. Got a A in all classes listed.</p>
<p>My D, spent 12 weeks at LSE as an MBA exchange student last year. She didn’t have a good impression of LSE in terms of quality of teaching and facilities as opposed to her top 10 US B school. She said London Business school is much better than LSE in terms of a graduate business school.</p>
<p>^ That may be because LSE isn’t really a business school, nor does it have a true business school in the American sense or make a serious effort to be like a business school. It is a single-faculty university that happens to participate in a management exchange program with some other schools as far as I can tell. </p>
<p>Economics and economics related programs are considered a far higher priority than business and business related programs at LSE. Law, math, political science and possibly even history programs seem to trump business as well. Keep in mind that in Europe and other parts of the world economics is considered more prestigious and challenging than business as a field of study, unlike in the US where this is reversed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It terms of quality of teaching, what difference is it if it is an economics school or a business school. She wasn’t comparing the courses, she was commenting on the professors and their style of teaching and their relationship with students on a few economics related classes. </p>
<p>I do think that US students are spoiled by some of the top school facilities they have here. Many universities and business schools (rich alumni donations) have brand new buildings and not matched outside of the US, except maybe in some new Middle Eastern campuses.</p>
<p>any ideas about the new Masters in management degrees?
three schools seem to be the best.</p>
<p>I see only LSE’s 2 year MSc Management as a route that still enables research, CEMS and possible PhD, half businessy half theoretical…</p>
<p>I am interested in comparing LSE MSc Management vs LBS MiM vs Duke MMS.
in terms of
research reach, career prospects in US (for EU-US immigrant), career help in school</p>
<p>or would a 1 year LSE degree be enough, 2 years too much?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
