<p>Hi all</p>
<p>Currently a student at an Ivy-League US Univ studying Economics and Mathematics (dbl. major). I was wondering what are my chances, and what kind of expectations, UK schools such as LSE, UCL and ICL (my targets) will have for a taught programme (MSc.) in Economics, Finance, or Mathematical Finance (or some combination thereof).</p>
<p>My GPA as of today is 3.6/4.0 (according to the UCL website, this translates to 1st class honours. is this true?). Most of this is major courses and actually, my major GPA is higher than my non-major GPA (I can't do literature or art to save my life). I can't really see this going down, only up unless I screw up badly next year. I will be writing a thesis as well and receiving departmental honours if all goes to plan.</p>
<p>I also did LSE Summer School (is this of any value?) for Int'l Economics and Money & Banking, receiving a B and an A respectively. I believe this roughly corresponds to 2:1 since the GPA-equivalent of those courses is a 3.5. </p>
<p>I'll be taking my GRE in late March or early April (target to apply in Fall 2013). I was wondering what kind of expectations that these schools would have for my GRE Score? I got a 2400 on my SAT so I'm not too terribly worried but it'd be nice to know a median or 75th percentile score that is generally admitted into these schools.</p>
<p>Also, have read that UK treats foreign students for taught programme admissions with much more leniency because we pay full tuition fees. Is this true? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
