Admission statistics
Dear London School of Economics,
under the Freedom of Information act, I would like to know for BSc international social and public policy for the 2020/21, 2019/20 and 2018/19 admission cycles:
- the number of applications,
- the number of offers made,
- the number of acceptances.
Yours faithfully,
Suprita Peri
Thank you for your email. As you will appreciate, information requests
place additional demands on the School in terms of costs and staff time.
At present we are having to prioritise our finite resources in order to
meet the unprecedented challenges we are facing during the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic. As such, we need to advise you that while we will
continue to process individual requests, you may experience some delay in
our response during the current pandemic.
Dear Suprita

below:

Could I ask you to think about the underlying question that is prompting
your data request. If you are attempting to find out what are your chances
of getting a place, remember that this cannot be answered by reference to
data. Applications are considered on their individual merits, based on a
holistic view of your supporting documents in the context of the current
cohort. Figures from previous years will not offer any insight on your
application. Your best way to find the answer is to apply.
If you think that the information provided does not meet your request,
contact Rachael Maguire at [1][email address] or write to
Louise Nadal, School Secretary, London School of Economics and Political
Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE. We will then review the
response to your request and get back to you within 20 working days. You
can also contact the Information Commissioner's Office
[2]http://www.ico.gov.uk/, though they expect the internal review to be
carried out before receiving a complaint directly.
The provision of information by the LSE under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000 does not imply a right to copy, reproduce publish or otherwise
use such information. Copying or reproducing such information in any way
