GENUINE GCSE Requirements for LSE BSc Economics?

I am an A-Level student who is currently dreaming of going to LSE to do a BSc in Economics! I just got my GCSE results and achieved 6 A*s, 4 As and 2 Bs. For Economics, the LSE website says that a B in GCSE English Language, and an A at GCSE Maths is required. I met this and got a B in English Language and an A in Maths. I have just started Year 12 and have not done my A-Levels yet, but can anyone tell me if I have a good chance of getting in? I have been told that the top Universities are putting added emphasis on GCSE Results now!I am getting really mixed responses about GCSEs and their importance at LSE! Would someone who actually KNOWS about their admissions policies, please help answer my questions? I would be really grateful!

I keep making identical threads because no one who actually knows about the admissions policies has responded! Could someone who knows about this please help me?

Nobody can genuinely answer your question.
People with not so great GCSE results have gotten places whilst people with excellent results have not. Some people were told that their GCSE results were not good enough whilst others were told that their PS was not good enough. For the record, your results are very similar to my son's and he got a place. He also got A*A*A at A2 whilst his offer was AAA.

I believe that it is your complete application as a whole is what gets you a place.

Thanks ever so much for your response! If you do not mind my asking, what GSCE grades did your son get? He must be a genius with those A2s

Almost identical if not the same as you from memory.
I don't know about genius but he is rather clever and he works really hard academically.

Make sure you get excellent AS and A2 grades and then write a honest and unique personal statement. That is all you can do. Go back and read the Applicant threads and you will see who got places and who didn't and you will be able to see some of their results as well. There is no guaranteed formula that you can follow.

Are you sure he's doing pure economics? The offer is usually a*aa
