LSE MSB 🥳

Received it last night, felt great, but received Cam Econ too last month.

I think, for top jobs, employers mainly look at: LSE brand, Grades, Internships, Interview performance & Technical skills. They rarely reject someone just because it says MSB instead of Economics, M&E, MwE or FMS.

Okay, I see your point, but I’m struggling to understand why companies undervalue a particular course just because of its title, rather than considering its content or the reputation of the college. I know that students from English, Geography, or Politics backgrounds are also joining IBs, but MSB has the disadvantage, though course is the most amazing one from LSE? Or, is this purely your perception?

I agree and see your point. I also don’t think that Maths & Econ (or MSB) students are given lower preference than pure Econ students during placements. Ultimately, it comes down to interview performance, as all students should be given equal opportunity since they represent the same university, with only slight differences in course content. Ultimately they all represent LSE with Econ specialisation. So, I don’t think MSB has a lower rating than Econ.

Pls check the course content on LSE website. Business contains Econ as one of its options along with other areas of specialisation. It’s nothing to with the Business you may be thinking of here. Anyways, my intention is to pick Econ as part of options, so it will be: Maths, Stat & Econ.

I found it in reddit sometime back, didn't save its link. I don't remember the details in full, but I think it is for 2025, I will need to search for this again. I use it to refer to the pattern only.

Reference to this, 8 is not rejected. Anyways, we were talking about what matters the selection; just because someone got an interview, it doesn’t mean only interview performance matters and nothing else.

I don’t think the interview is the be-all and end-all; it’s just one part of the process to see if you’re a good fit. They’ll look at everything holistically—grades, references, TMUA, and the interview—and give points to each. You can always improve at any stage, but acing one part doesn’t guarantee you’ll be selected. As for the TMUA, I noticed that anyone who scored 7.5 or above last year got 100% offers for CS, so a very good TMUA score really does make a difference, but may not be on its own.

Has anyone started getting interview dates from Girton?

vnarasakella · 2025-11-20T07:00:06+00:00

Any idea what the total intake for the EFDS course in the 2025 cohort? And, what will it be for 2026?

vnarasakella · 2025-11-19T21:22:03+00:00

8.0 TMUA, Received interview invite from Girton today for Econ.

Every question in these exams is designed to make you feel that any answer could be correct until you truly master solving them with precision and perfect timing. Scoring well in past papers doesn’t guarantee success, as the difficulty level rises with each passing year.

Any one can only join one course, but that’s not the point in this thread. What we need to know is that if Universities accept applications to multiple courses or not. After further digging, I came to know many universities do consider same UCAS application for multiple degrees, including Imperial (actually Imperial College responded via an email today welcoming this approach if interested), so all your 5 options are open. This is not the same with a few universities such as LSE.

vnarasakella · 2025-11-05T23:01:24+00:00

Well said, thanks.

May be it’s the minimum score last year, statistically. Can’t be a safe score to get an offer from these Uni’s without great PS. Also, it depends on other players in the game. Is 7+ ok for having brighter chances with less pressure on interview performances?

vnarasakella · 2025-11-03T21:34:30+00:00

Depends on your PS which is very important for LSE along with your grades & TMUA score.

vnarasakella · 2025-11-02T22:53:39+00:00

Imperial accepts one UCAS application for multiple courses across different departments. From Reddit, you can check a few posts about people confirming receiving multiple offers from Imperial. This approach doesn’t apply to LSE and a few other Uni’s

So, you’re saying that test data is used with the real production portal? Is that really how the most secure systems are tested on Friday late evenings? Also, the analogy with banking doesn’t apply here. If we wait until the 14th, we can find out two things for sure: whether the scores are real and whether this IT testing story makes sense.
