倫敦國王學院

Galaxy989

請問有無人知 倫敦國王學院King's College London 經濟系好唔好? 收到入學conditional offer, 仍然等緊 UCL, University of Birmingham 消息, 見QS World University Rankings  經濟系 KCL - Economics top ranking 300 不入, 似乎唔太理想.

Conditional offers were also given by the other three universities, so it should not be the PS issue. Somtimes we will never know the reasons behind.

The grades of 44/45 are not competitive enough for LSE.

No way. There were kids with 38 or even 37 PG getting offers from LSE.

44/45是指ib, 45是滿分

ic, then it must be the PS or interview issue.

首先恭喜你兒子拿到 KCL 的 conditional offer!  KCL 是很好的大學，拿到她的conditional offer 是很高興的事情啊!

我曾經聽人說過，她的 undergraduate economics course 是近一兩年才開始辦的，或者你可以查證一下情形是否真的如此， 如果屬實，那 QS ranking 低，就可解釋了。 或者你可以等收齊所有大學的 conditional offer 再慢慢比較考慮。

LSE是英國院校中最看重PS的。落足心機 寫好篇PS, 真係好過考試多粒＊，這是報考LSE的常識吧。

Sometimes things are unpredictable. With the same course title, my kid was given conditional offer by UCL but was rejected by Aston.

i also know a kid with PG 44/45 got rejected by LSE, reason bring his PS not strong enough. seems LSE use PS as reason for most of its rejections.

Oxford interview rate is lower than Cambridge, and Oxford uses its own aptitude tests as screener for the interview shortlist, much less relies on PG as the other universities which do not require entrance exams and/or interviews

may i ask which university rejected that girl with 44/45 PG? for which subject?

Sorry I’d prefer not to disclose her details but my daughter believes that her PS is kind of unconventional.  

Another classmate with same predicted grade didn’t get the Oxbridge interview offer.  Both of them couldn’t take the rejections very well.  

So definitely predicted grade is only part of the admission criteria.

PG does not mean that much to the university because it's just a grade that somebody made up, there are cases that teachers give all As／5s to students so they can have offers having lower entry requirement. That is also the case for me, my elective subjects teacher gave 5* so I can have a better chance of getting an offer. Universities usually do not provide reasons for rejection.
I can't say for UCL, but Birmingham would most likely give an offer. What is the other university you have applied apart from those you have mentioned? There's not much you can do before all replies are received.
