MSc Econ at top unis - rate my chances

Hey guys i would appreciate any feedback regarding the likelihood of me being accepted into top masters programmes for MSc Economics.


My A level results were poor, ABB, Law/Econ/Biz, i didnt work in my first year of uni and got 58%. But in year 2 I started working, I got 67.5% and i feel i can def sustain that, and imo i am v capable of getting a first (btw my first yr of uni doesnt count), especially considering Soton BSc Econ is weighted 1/3rd - 2/3rds for years 2 and 3 respectively. Im doing econ single honours at southampton uni. What are my chances of getting MSc Econ offers from LSE/UCL/Warwick/Nottingham (I assume Oxford is out of the question). Im hoping i will be predicted a 1st, but i dunno how they base predictions, obv at A level they are v generous w predictions, i was predicted 3 As, uni may be more 'pessimistic'. Will these unis require a first, will they give me an offer even if they dont think ill make the grade or do they only give offers to those who are obv going to get a first, will my poor background hinder me?

last thing, i have done all econ modules at uni, not one management etc module, i have also done the 'harder' units imo; i think the unis will appreciate this. Maths wise, my grades arent great, but not bad; 70%/63% in year 2.

cheers guys, any help is greatly appreciated. charlie
