Hi everyone,

I just wanted to know what my chances are of getting into LSE 101 Economics.

My GCSE's were pretty bad; only 3a*, 6a's and 5b's . I've finished my a levels in further maths, physics, economics and physics and i already have an a and i'm predicted a* in it xD but after my fp1 module i think that i may get a low a/ high b in it. So overall im guessing that i would get AAAAB.

Also I am doing the EPQ over the summer on the Game Theory, i was wondering if LSE took any consideration into the qualification knowing that they don't do interviews.

Thanks for reading this I know this may be getting repetitive to some people but i just want to be sure that I'm not wasting one of my choices when I apply this winter.

I think you need at least one A* preferably in maths/further maths.

It's going to be very touch getting in even with the right grades, considering that the applicants per place ratio is extremely high, hence low success rate.

Good luck though.

Why can't you get your teachers to predict you an A* in maths?

Sorry forgot to mention I still havn't got my predicted grades yet for all my other subjects apart from maths which is an a*. I'll probably recieve after results day, hopefully an a*, a*, a,a in economics, geography, physics, further maths respectively.

Your GCSEs are fine. If you ignore the B's its 3A* 6A which is pretty damn good, the B's make it look bad but in all honesty you have like 5 more GCSEs than everyone else so don't be worried about your GCSEs. I think you have a good chance, get your teacher to predict you A* in Maths also.

You have a good chance then

Just make sure your personal statement is top notch and work as hard as possible towards your exams. Try not to get anything below an A.

Good luck mate, you're really going to need it

Of course you stand a chance. A much better chance than for straight economics, so if that's what you want to go for then go for it

Pretty difficult, not gonna lie. But you've got 5 choices, so no harm if you don't get in. Good luck.
