From Riga to London: The Journey of a Kadas Scholar.
My name is Miks Kalders, and my journey to the London School of Economics began not in a lecture hall, but in Riga, Latvia. I was a student with big ambitions but a simple question: how does someone from a small country break into the world’s most elite universities? The answer came in the form of the Kadas Scholarship, which made my dream of studying at LSE a reality.
Those years at LSE, followed by my time in London’s fast-paced investment banking scene, taught me that success isn’t about luck—it’s about having a strategy. I created The LSE Advantage to give you that strategy. This isn’t just a course; it’s the exact blueprint I used to get where I am. If I can do it, so can you.
