LSE are a conundrum.
I have had a foreign fee paying impeccable English speaking student refused
- he already has 2 A's obtained in his LVIth yr and is predicted another 3
A's (Maths - achieved 150 on P1 in Jan, Politics & Econ) whilst another
student whose English is far from perfect was given an offer that accepted
his A in Russian (native speaker) and required 2 B's in Econ & Bus Stud.
