Pretentious and objectively incorrect. Stop making these posts.
I think this guy is just acting stupid to try get a kick out of others; been plenty of posts that are accurately depicting UK target/semi-targets.
I would say the list looks fairly accurate, with maybe LSE on the same level as Imperial, UCL and Warwick (LSE is disproportionally represented as everyone applies)
What changes would you make?
True tier 1 is not even going to uni
Where does LBS go?
Or is this just for undergrad?
Ta!
Never in my life have I seen Imperial called ICL :D Also, I see Notts has been downgraded once again... #RIPmyChancesAtMBB #OhWaitNoImGood
The way you use hashtags indicates you're pushing 30
I was pushing 30 when you were at school, kiddo :D
3 weeks ago, this fucking nerd (OP) was asking if a 2 page CV is okay and now he's tiering unis.
Please, fuck off.
