not necessarily... some people have offers for high 2.1's........................but not me for some reason.

Have you got an offer?

What would be a high 2:1? - what percentile would it typically be? (I suppose a first is more or less top 5%?)

Yup, I've got a conditional offer...

Hey everyone,

Just FYI, I got a conditional offer yesterday. My file was complete on Nov. 3 and sent for consideration on Nov. 10, so I heard 13 weeks later. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting -- I know that the wait can be frustrating!

Skal - why don't you give them a call? Did they tell you to wait?

Generally, just to repeat my quetsions before, does anyone know what percentile does a "Top 2:1" represents in England?

Skal - maybe the selector is busy on something. But it does suggest that it is a bit of a lottery (to the extent whether your selector is quick in responding). I thought I read in another thread that slow progress may not necessarily be a bad sign (I suppose rejection should be the quickest respond)? Which area/specialisation are you applying for? I applied for corproate commercial so perhaps we are on the same boat!

A 2.1 is the standard mark, 60 - 69%. Most people who graduate from UK universities leave with a 2.1. If you dont get a 2.1 you are an idiot. The difference between 60 and 69 is however, massive.

c-j-h - so would you say getting a 2:1 with 67-69 should usually put you in the top 10-20 percent of the class in any event?

Skal - I know exactly what you mean. At least you are in the Wait List which means that there is a pretty good chance still (whereas for me, my application is still "under consideration") Like you said, i just want to find out and then move on.

67-69 would do for sure. Some UK candidates have offers to LSE for 66%.

Sorry Skal to have misunderstood you - hopefully we will get to hear from them - one way or another....

I was confused from this "2:1" "67%" etc talking. I dont understand what these standards mean. I have a 8,5/10 grade from University of Athens Law School and this represents 1% ranking in 2005 graduates -8th from 774- (in athens law school there is 1 graduate with an average above 9 every 2-3 years). how is that translated in 2:1 and etc form?
Furthermore... I am going to apply tomorrow and i admitt that i am not used to -by-post-applications...
Please give an answer to the following if you know: What is the reputation of greek universities in LSE and other good english universities, and especially as far as law is concerned? i know that city un. is athens' "suburb", however i am afraid about the discrimination of my application due to my university's (athens law school) overall reputation....
On the other hand, many here say that high grade graduates from athens have an easier admission, because of our -to be sure- difficult and often unfair process of grading and graduating...

It seems I will not know anything before going to London on Thursday...

Hi guys, can any one tell has there been any rejection so far from LSE? My application has entered its 11th week and the status is still the same "under consideration"...... does LSE send rejections only in the end by bulk mail??!!

That's exactly what I was going to post here. If what you are suggesting is the practice, then I think those of us who have not received feedback should be a bit nervous....

Have you tried to call them to find out what's happening? I think we are allowed to call after 8 weeks right?

That may not be completely true, a couple of people I know got "we regret to inform you" witin 8 weeks. In fact "under considerations" is a good sign. Don't worry! Where else have you all applied?
