Besides Niu Jian, there is also a "female classmate with stories" in the G5 super elite university in Britain, and that is the London School of Economics and Political Science. London politics and economics is affectionately called the goddess school lse by many students studying in Britain. Do you know why LSE is a goddess school? 1. Why is lse the mysterious arrangement of Goddess 1? LSE, a divine arrangement of the London School of Economics and Political Science, was established in London, England, 1895. It is a world-renowned top public research university. At the same time, it is also a world-class school focusing on social sciences and a pioneer in the world economic and financial fields. However, in recent years, LSE has suffered "injustice" because of its comprehensive ranking: its comprehensive ranking is not worthy of her strength. LSE ranks only 49th in the QS World University Ranking of 202 1; In the ranking list of US news that British universities dislike for a long time, LSE even fell to 259 ... Because the research of LSE major is too concentrated in the field of social sciences, the school has no scale and lacks funds. The annual government budget is more than 20 million pounds, which is only1/kloc-0 of UCL of University College London, which is also a G5 super elite university, and/kloc-0 of Imperial College London IC. It is precisely because the courses of the London School of Economics and Political Science are mainly social sciences, excluding natural sciences, and the size of the whole school, it is not dominant in the world university rankings: for example, 20% of the QS ranking is based on the number of papers cited. LSE doesn't cite science and engineering at all. Only citing social sciences can rank among the top dozens of comprehensive universities in the world! You are very good! Although LSE is average in the comprehensive ranking of major universities in the world, it continues to be in the forefront of the world in the field of social sciences. It is particularly worth mentioning that the social science field of London's politics and economics can be described as one person below and ten thousand people above. LSE's ability and reputation in the field of social sciences are second only to Harvard University, ranking first in Europe, second in the world, and third in media major. In the QS professional ranking, accounting &; In the financial direction, LSE has crushed Oxford and Cambridge by virtue of its strength, ranking second only to Harvard, MIT and Stanford University, ranking fourth in the world! Therefore, even if the comprehensive arrangement of LSE is not as dazzling as that of Niu Jian, students who regard LSE as their dream school don't care at all, because they know that the real strength of their goddess school can't be summarized by comprehensive arrangement. 2. The level of teaching and research is high, and the employment recognition is high. LSE has a high level of teaching and research, and its graduates play an indispensable role in the global political and economic arena. LSE can be said to be the university that has trained the most economists in Britain, surpassing Niu Jian. Up to now, LSE has 18 Nobel Prize winners, and the Nobel Prize winner in economics himself accounts for 17%. It is also one of the top ten universities favored by employers around the world; According to the data of the British Ministry of Education, among the most profitable 10 majors five years after graduation, LSE is also very strong in economics and mathematical science! Five years after graduation, you can get a salary of 60 thousand pounds and 55 thousand pounds respectively! 20% of the analyst positions in Goldman Sachs London come from LSE. Second place Oxford 10%. LSE accounts for 16% of the analyst positions of Morgan Stanley, and bocconi, which ranks second, accounts for about 10% (data 20 16). The high degree of employer recognition can be said to be an extremely important factor that directly reflects the strength of a school, and it is also a factor that must be considered when choosing a school. 3. The admission rate is low, which is reflected in the extremely low admission rate of LSE, only 7%, and the admission competition is extremely fierce. Her admission rate is obviously lower than IC and UCL at the same level, and even lower than some majors of her eldest brother Niu Jian. In the LSE admission conditions, there is no clear requirement for the background of undergraduate colleges. However, the government gave priority to the list of 30 China universities: Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi Jiaotong University, Jilin University, China University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Sichuan University, Sun Yat-sen University, Nankai University, Tianjin University, Beihang University, Shandong University, Central South University, Beijing Normal University and Southeast University. South China University of Technology, Xiamen University, China Renmin University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Beijing University of Science and Technology, Northeastern University. The language requirement of LSE is IELTS 7.0, TOEFL 107 6.0, and some strong business majors need GMAT. The tuition fees for different majors in LSE range from 20,000 to 30,000, among which the tuition fees for business and social sciences are in the higher ranks. After all, politics, economy, international relations, law, finance and sociology are the trump cards of LSE. 4. High degree of internationalization Finally, LSE has a high degree of internationalization. According to the data of The Times in 20 19, the number of international students in LSE accounts for 70%, and the number of international students exceeds that in Oxford and Cambridge. A highly internationalized university means open discussion, exchange and collision of different cultures and viewpoints. This will be a good experience for students who like to explore and talk. Second, lse's dominant major 1, business LSE's business application requires GMAT 650 or above. Good school, high GPA, high GMAT score and best internship experience. It is difficult to apply for accounting, finance and finance majors, so students who are not in the top 30 should choose carefully. 2. Media If you want to learn media theory, come to LSE. Here, you can systematically study the application of media science in sociology, politics, cultural studies and other fields. But if you pay attention to practice and want to be a reporter or director, it's better to change places. His family's media department &; The Master of Communication offers 29 courses. In addition to professional background, the most important thing for enrollment is IELTS scores. The language requirement of LSE's media course is very high, and the language is basically infinite. IELTS is easier than 7, of course, it is better to have GRE scores, which can increase the chances of admission. But none of the above courses need GRE, so if you can't learn it, you don't have to stick to it. 3. The Department of Social Policy is the trump card department of LSE, and currently 48 courses are offered for social science majors. As the ace major of LSE, it goes without saying that the average domestic top 30 scores of social science applicants must be above 85 to get an offer. However, because there are too many courses involved, except for the most difficult majors such as administration, other majors will slightly lower their requirements and recruit some students who are not in the top 30. The average score of LSE changes more or less every year, and there is basically no way to accurately grasp it. Admission with low scores, rejection with high scores. Third, the lse application conditions (1) undergraduate 1, the English language requires IELTS total score and all items not less than 7.0. Or, GCSE English language score reaches B or 6. 2. Application materials, academic performance (including estimated performance), course portfolio (see below), personal statement, recommendation letter, education, etc. 3.A-level performance requirements are divided into three grades: A*AA, AAA and AAB. There are many wordy sentences here. PPE, economics, finance, law, mathematics, psychology and behavioral science require at least one A*. In addition, LSE prefers to choose applicants who get high scores at one time, unless there are special circumstances, retaking the exam will reduce competitiveness. 4.GCSE performance requirements generally require applicants to achieve at least B or 6 in GCSE English and mathematics, and individual majors are higher. Some departments want to see GCSE with multiple A or A*. In addition, applications for core mathematics, Cambridge University Foundation, BTEC, IB and other certificates are also accepted. 5. Additional exams Some applicants may need to take the UGAA entrance exam. The exam lasts for 3 hours, including English comprehension exercises, writing and math.

Yes, the low admission rate, high teaching and research level, high employment recognition and high degree of internationalization are the essential reasons why it is called the Goddess School.
