Timing on Law offers, and achieved grades
Dear London School of Economics,
I wanted to request information on the timing of offers made for the Law course in the past years, including the most recent UCAS cycle. If possible, I would like to ask for this information presented in a table with the numbers of offers on every date an offer has been made.
I also would like to request information on whether there may be some advantage to having already achieved grades, in reapplying, rather than having predicted grades.
Yours faithfully,
mohammed ahmed
Thank you for your email. Please consider this as confirmation that your
request has been received and will be processed in line with statutory
deadlines. If there are any delays in responding we will let you know.
Dear Mohammed,
Further to your recent FoI request, the Schools response is provided below:
Please find the data attached. As you didn’t provide a time range so we have supplied 4 years of data.
The answer to the second question is no:
I also would like to request information on whether there may be some advantage to having already achieved grades, in reapplying, rather than having predicted grades.
There is no advantage to re-applying with achieved grades. Each applicant 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.
If you think that the information provided does not meet your request, contact Rachael Maguire at [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 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 either in whole or in part without prior written consent may be an infringement of copyright or other intellectual property right belonging to the LSE or a third party.
