If you got Bath, I'm sure it's no problem for the remaining two. A happy dilemma you have now is to choose between LSE or Bath

QUOTE(Flame Haze @ Dec 26 2014, 05:39 PM) I sure hope so, but competition for LSE is damn stiff. I did give Bath more thought since I give priority to a more friendly community, but if I get into LSE, my scholarship pays me extra 500bucks per month, so I'm in quite a dilemma. Not to mention the better international reputation of LSE too! Sounds like JPA then ? No arguing about LSE's superior reputation. But from another perspective, it's much easier to shine at a place like Bath (think Student Union President, Captain / Chair of societies etc) and the academic staff will be much more approachable ... which means instant contact if your prof invites you to meet people / recommendation to his friends in industry. Of course in LSE chances are even higher of rubbing shoulders with off-spring of important people ... which may come in useful after they've established their careers in 10+ years. Academic staff unfortunately will be more of an "ivory tower" so no short cuts to anything In any case, both are AAA universities. IMHO, keep an open mind and don't blindly go to LSE/Oxbridge for reputation's sake ... I know I would have been happier at another uni despite the brand name (Cantab 2012). |

QUOTE(yanhui95 @ Sep 14 2015, 04:33 PM) someone here has mentioned before that a credit card may be a good option. currently maybank2card premier gives 5xpoints overseas. Not sure if the offers are still the same, but 5 or so years ago I was using my UK HSBC Premier. my school fees are 20k pounds and at this exchange rate, i would be able to get a free return business class ticket to london( need to pay the taxes and aiport fee only) if u fancy that, then it is definitely worth more than the 1% cash back that many cards offer. Parents M'sia HSBC Premier -> Supplementary Card for me -> Open UK HSBC Account -> Upgrade own UK Account to HSBC Premier for free (Main account) At the time (maybe still current?) HSBC Premier had the option of choosing our rewards. I went for supermarket vouchers (M&S, Morrisons etc) Conversion was around 10% of spend ... so 5kGBP spend gets me 500GBP of credit vouchers. |
