<p>I wouldnt worry, you have strong stats, and LSE are good with international qualifications. If you are paying fees, you will also stand a better chance, and the course you have applied for are not the most competitive either.</p>
<p>They don't give out offers in the order of best first ect. so dont be suprised if you don't hear till february or even later. London is a great city, and although i know it's not for me, LSE is fantastic.</p>
<p>I have their admitted students brocheur though, and Ihave to say, it's not the most exciting read ever! hehe.</p>
<p>ahaah well Im currently in Warwick right now and it seems way to easy so thats y I'm applying for first year at LSE and Kings</p>
<p>ah right. Warwick is a very good uni, I think it will probably get a fair bit harder. Are you sure you don't want to stick at it?</p>
<p>well i applied for LSE and Kings so and i will hear from them around SOON!!! LOL so than i will decide</p>
<p>14 A-levels is crazy. and he did it in 2 years??</p>
<p>aaaaaaaa still waiting for LSE</p>
<p>I'm doing A Levels in Dubai. I've got offers at UCL, Edinburgh, Manchester, Loughborough and Sheffield. How are everyones January exams going?</p>
<p>January exams suck.</p>
<p>I'm in no mood to study during Januaries. I've hardly done anything at all.. :(</p>
<p>Hey, forgive me, but what are A-levels? (I'm from the US) And how many levels are there?</p>
<p>basically A-levels are US version of AP tests</p>
<p>I just wrote a long reply and accidentally deleted it.</p>
<p>Though UK unis treat AP scores like A-level grades for foreign students, I strongly disagree that they are equivalent.</p>
<p>A-levels are a 2 year course of study which British students take between the ages of 16 and 18 (years 12-13). They are not just an exam but involve coursework, which is classwork done over the two years and submitted to be examined. The exams aren't multiple choise either. You do have to write stuff. most students only take 3-4 subjects.</p>
<p>There are exams called A-levels in other commonwelath countries, which have a reputation for being much harder! However, many foreign students choose to register to take UK A-levels. </p>

<p>oh no not another AP v A'Levels thread!</p>
<p>I agree with cupcake. From a person whose done A Levels and self done AP's.</p>
<p>ahhhh. I got an offer from Cambridge for economics, and I want to go there, but I want to study in the US too. Dont have any US offers yet (or rejections!) but I dont know what i want to do. i wish i could do both.</p>
<p>About AP's, they're supposed to be college level high school courses but I think the AP test is a little easier. Getting a 5 on an AP test isn't as difficult as getting an A in college. At least that's my experience. What's your guys experience with A-levels vs. actual college courses?</p>
<p>Congrats LadyLou, it's always great to have an acceptance letter under your belt (particularly one from Cambridge!!). Assuming you still have a few months left before you have to confirm whether to accept the place in Cambridge or not, I would suggest wait for the US acceptances before worrying about the choice you'll have to make.</p>
