Dear Ava

With reference to your request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act, please find attached and below the School’s response.

Each applicant to LSE is considered on his/her merit and in competition
with the rest of the applicant cohort in a given admissions cycle. Each
application is viewed holistically; assessing the merit, potential,
motivation, skills and qualities of applicants by considering all the
information presented on the application form. This includes, but is not
limited to, academic achievements and qualifications. The personal
statement, academic reference and additional social and educational
contextual data also form an important part of the selection process. For
more information on exactly what contextual information is used in the
admissions decision making process please refer to the [1]Undergraduate
Admissions Policy.

If you think that the information provided does not meet your request,
contact me on 020 7955 7554 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.

Act 2000 does not imply a right to copy, reproduce publish or otherwise
