For students, being able to enter a G5 university not only means stepping into a world-class university, but also means that they will gain senior academic knowledge, rich high-quality contacts and a bright future.
However, the British G5 is notoriously tsundere, and Oxbridge in particular is the most devastating for applicants. Therefore, mastering some of the "unspoken rules" of the G5 application can help the application.
Then, students who plan to apply to these universities must do their homework in advance, as the so-called "know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles". Today, we will tell you about their "unspoken rules"!
Undergraduate college preference
Although the G5 universities in the UK do not explicitly state that they do not admit students from any background, each school has its own preferred undergraduate college.
Oxbridge prefers 985 colleges, especially C9 league schools.
LSE tends to be ranked 30th in the Internet University.
Although IC does not publish a list of schools, past data shows that it is more keen to recruit well-known domestic institutions.
UCL is a relatively friendly school, although the enrollment is basically 985 211 students, but there is also a great chance of double non-high GPA and high IELTS.
GPA requirements
Business majors in G5 universities in the UK generally pay attention to GPA and pay more attention to academic performance. Oxbridge generally requires students to meet a GPA of more than 90%, the other three schools generally require students from 985 211 colleges to meet a GPA of more than 85%, and double non-resident students to meet a GPA of 88-90%.
Of course, there is no need to worry too much about the grades before the application do not meet the requirements, the school will issue a conditional offer (i.e., conditional admission) for students who do not meet the GPA conditions, and will write the GPA requirements for students in black and white on the offer, as long as the requirements are met before admission, you can change to an unconditional offer (unconditional admission) to successfully enroll.

These career planning questions mainly ask about the industry you want to work in in the future, the position, and the abilities required for your target position, etc., with a total of 9 related questions to answer.

The "unspoken rule" that limits the number of applications for a major
UCL offers a wide range of majors, a large number of them, and a lot of choices, so the number of applicants is quite large. In order to reduce the workload of admissions examiners and improve the overall review efficiency of the school, the school will limit each person to apply for a maximum of 2 majors from 22fall. But in practice, we found that if a student is rejected in both majors, he can continue to apply for the third major!Proper card bug operation ......

LSE London School of Economics and Political Science
LSE favors top students. As a fighter in the political and business world, LSE attaches great importance to the academic performance of applicants, and basically all graduate programs require applicants to have a score of 2:1 or above. For mainland students, the advantage of 985 and the advantage of five colleges and four departments, and the background of high scores have a greater probability of being admitted.
At the same time, since LSE generally does not have a written test or interview, the school only judges whether a student is suitable for the program he or she is applying for based on transcripts and personal statements, CVs and other materials. Therefore, it is crucial to write a good personal statement when applying for an LSE. The personal statement should be between 1000-1500 words.
