They will look at your grades, obviously and will have set requirements for international students as they don't do A Levels. Some of the top universities may set you an entrance paper which is normally an advanced maths paper. To my knowledge I don't think LSE do one, but I could be wrong especially for the more popular courses. LSE is definatly one of the top unis. What course are you applying for?

yeah as bubbly said, you personal statement is very important it can be typed up, it takes agezz to come up with the final draft, and what happens next is that u can track your progress of ur application online, and if u do initially get approved, u mite have to come for interview , dunno they mite waiver that if ur personal statement is damn good seein as ur in the usa

You will have to sit a GRE/GMAT test possibly, all is explained on their webpage.

If the want the truth for finance, go Cass Business School, for finance its amazing and great diverse culture too.

[saadan_ghalib]

dont think so , only accounting and finance ,


thats how they pair undergrad degrees here , usually its accounting and finace both combined, not finance on its own i dnt think ...

really? tell me about the atmosphere

[vikownethu]

really? tell me about the atmosphere

The place has got a cosmopolitan feel to it. Isn't too big, but there is a wide mix of nationalities studying there. The parties etc are really good, stuff like "Friday night crush," which has two floors, one with bhangra, is quite popular with with all London students.

Don't live there, as I'm at UCL most of the time, just a thought that with so many geniuses studying there, it is possible you may find a few stuck up people.

All in all, its a very nice uni.
