Are these GCSE grades good enough for LSE?

Hi all,
I've been looking into some of the LSE courses I may potentially be wanting to apply to, these being 'Financial Mathematics and Statistics' and 'Mathematics and/with Economics', however I feel my GCSE grades are going to strongly let me down.

At GCSE I 'achieved' 988887665, for the fact of being the 'Covid year' so I just got the exact same as my Mock results (I was originally wanting to achieve 999988775 if I'd of been able to sit the exams). At A-Level I am taking Maths, Further Maths, Economics and History, and am aiming to achieve A*A*A*A respectively.

If I were to (theoretically) achieve these A-Level grades, would I still have at least somewhat of a decent/strong chance at getting an offer?

Yes /thread

Yes... what? A strong chance? Decent chance? Do you think emphasis on GCSEs may be slightly weaker for the Covid year as many students' GCSE grades weren't an actual representation of their ability?

Have you already posted this thread under another username?

If you're intending to apply post results, unis won't be that interested in your GCSEs. Your GCSEs should be fine, but it may depend on what subject the 5 is in.

Nope? However I have posted a fair few threads on the topic of my GCSEs in consideration to applying to universities such as Cambridge, Imperial, LSE, UCL, Warwick, etc. so that may be where the confusion has come from.

I'll run through each of the subjects I achieved the grades I did in:
Business - 9
Computer Science - 8
Science - 8-7
English Language - 6
English Literature - 6
French - 5
History - 8
Maths - 8

Considering all the GCSE subjects I've taken forward to A-Level (that either have direct or somewhat of a correlation, i.e. direct between Maths to Maths and Further Maths, direct between History and History, and a somewhat correlation between Business and Economics) are all A*-equivalent, would this be okay when it comes to university applications?

No offence but this is a pointless thread, as you have nothing to worry about when you achieved 8's in GCSE's for some subjects you are studying at AS. You're giving yourself unnecessary stress.
