2月4日的时候收到关于LSE的邮件通知，说明今年的申请量，因为Pris今年有同学录取了LSE了，所以是发给了收到offer同学的邮箱里，故而这里放出邮件内通知的申请量给大家，希望申请LSE的同学可以对于今年严峻的形式做个判断，如果被LSE拒的同学也不要难过，毕竟申请量暴增。

一。整个申请LSE的同学增加22%的人数。

The short version is: 22% more applications, lots more decisions processed, despite BREXIT EU numbers up slightly on last tear, other national markets have seen large increases, as ever lots of unevenness across departments and programmes.

Headline Numbers - end of January 2021

• 41,009 applicants have been started a application in this admissions cycle - at the moment 1800+ new applications are started each week and 1300+ are submitted for consideration each week. The number of started applications is 6.6% higher than on this date last year. The peak month for applications is January.、

总共有29946份申请递交，比今年同期预计的数量上涨了65% （因为录取组是要考虑转化率的，所以录取组也要预估不同时段的申请量和发出的offer量以及最终到场的学生量，节省人力成本）。同时这个申请量也在去年20年已经贸易战很爆满的状况下上涨了21.8%。和5年前相比上涨了42%。。。。。。。

• 2021-22 Submitted Application numbers. Overall we have received 29,946 programme applications, this is 65%+ of the applications that we expect to receive in this cycle. The programme application numbers (applicants can have two programme choices) are higher than in any previous cycle, up by 21.8% on this time last year and up by 42% on 5 years ago!! Applicant numbers are 22% higher than 2019 and 57% higher than 5 years ago.

目前已经给出了14313个决定（这里包含offer和拒信，也就是说LSE处理的很慢，差不多还有50%的申请没有审理完成，还没有结果的同学不用担心，没有消息就是好消息）

• We have processed 14,313 decisions, 3,106 more decisions than this date a year ago.

二。这是不同专业分别的上涨量，可以参考你所递交的申请。

• Most departments have seen an increase in their application numbers, but not all:

Accounting +10.3% (1299 applications)，会计1299份申请，上涨10.3%

Anthropology +18.3% (421)

Economic History +41.2% (449) 上涨比较多的专业

Economics +19.2% (1936)

European Institute +18.1% (496)

Finance +29.9% (2860) 金融涨幅接近30%

Gender Studies +15.1% (555)

Geography and Environment +30% (1836) 地理类专业今年上涨比较多

Government +24.9% (1426)

Health Policy +13.8% (396)

International Development +11.3% (1238)

International History +35.7% (369)

International Relations +18.5% (1420)

Law +21.6% (2299)

Management +13.4% (3794) 其实这个申请量虽然你看起来很多，但是实际涨幅不大，这个意思是说每年的管理专业其实都很多人竞争，因为可以转专业，所以会出现各种五花八门的专业递交来。

Mathematics +32.5% (1191)

Media and Communication +21.5% (1892) 媒体21年的难度都超过Pris的预期了，已经在英国难度快赶得上会计金融之外第三最难申请的专业了。LSE的媒体其实没太多同学必须挑战，没有类似华威和KCL的火爆，但就这样都上涨了21.5%

Methodology -13.9% (396)

Philosophy +18.6% (274)

Psychological and Behavioural Science +25.8% (1062)

School of Public Policy +36.2% (688)

Social Policy +27.6% (776)

Sociology +18.7% (1088)

Statistics +29.8% (1654) 统计学上涨30%，去年其实统计学的LSE和UCL已经很艰难了。。。

 

• Many programmes have also experienced sizable increases in applications and a handful have had a drop in numbers. Here are some highlights:

MSc Economic History +66% (281)

MSc Global Politics +60% (206)

MSc International Health Policy (Health Economics) -15% (99) 这是今年减少申请的专业，但是冷门的专业其实建议同期的同学可以捡漏，但是下一学年的同学谨慎参考，因为有时候前面一年的冷门和捡漏会成为下一年的爆款。所以现在要补申的同学可以考虑这样减少申请捡漏专业。

MSc Real Estate Economics and Finance +73% (490)

MSc Geographical Data Science (NEW) - 32 applications

MSc Health Data Science (NEW) - 53 applications

MSc International and Asian History +52% (35)

MSc Modern History (NEW) - 29 applications

MSc Operations Research and Analytics +45% (382)

MSc Applied Social Data Science -19% (276)

MSc Psychology of Economic Life +62% (180)

MPP +47% (336)

MSc Criminal Justice Policy +132% (86)

MSc Human Rights and Politics +37% (145)

MSc Statistics +32% (273)

三。不同国家申请人数竞争：我们重点看中国

• Applications from our 15 largest national markets are as follows. The first figure is the percentage share of all applications and the second figure is the increase/decrease on 2020.

中国的同学上涨明显，说好的疫情下的留学热情减退呢呢？？？？？
