Are these GCSEs good enough for LSE?

I achieved 999988765 today with the 5 being in Foundation Maths, LSE states that a minimum 6 in Maths is required. Would the 5 prevent me from having a successful application into Politics and IR?

For context, I attended a mid-low performing state school where the average grade is roughly around a 4.5.

First of all, congrats for those grades. You could attend the LSE summer school program which will allow you to be enrolled with lower grades or you may have to re-do maths but at a higher level to get a 6/7.

Note that if they state a minimum of a 6 is required in maths this will normally be a hard requirement and you would typically be automatically rejected without it. Usually English language/maths GCSE requirements are firm conditions set by unis.

You should aim to retake maths if needed.

Oh, I see. So even if I were to apply without retaking would there really be no chance at all despite other grades being good?

Thank you! I definitely do not want to resit Maths. I've never heard of the summer school program, but it appears to be more geared to international/postgrad applicants as it has no mention of the UCAS/A Level process on its application website? Do domestic applicants typically get lower offers through it?
