current economic climate. I guess what i'm asking is, what would you guys do in my situation. Another thing, why did you decline the offer Spairos? P.S. i agree with Vanbrugh in that a reputation is earned, not bought - that definitely has made me focus more on why LSE and not the money aspect, thanks ( Originally Posted by tommiller ) Please can someone enlighten me about the amount of people applying/intakes as I think that I just got in for the money and not for the actual personal statement/references or my grades.

Spairos you say I have to decide between my offers, the thing is LSE is the only offer that I have, I only applied to two places, LSE and UCL. I received an interview from UCL but didn't bother with it as it was the exam period during the week they gave me the interview for. That's the only thing with my situation, its either to go LSE, spend a lot of money, get a degree whilst at the same time applying for jobs in this current climate plus
