ECON: What is realistic given my grades?

Hi, I would preferably like to do economics at uni.

My ideas for uni would be:
Cambridge - or Oxford E&M
LSE
UCL
Then two lesser unis but still well within top 20, top 10

GCSEs: 7A*, 2A, 1C in spanish
A Levels: maths (with mechanics), physics, econ, english - Predicted all As at AS

I have a serious problem. I would like to do econ at a top 5 uni. I do not have further maths or statistics. I plan to pick up a few FM and stats modules next year.

I read the economist, have read and am still reading 6+ books in time for econ application. I have work exp lined up with the M&S treasury and have worked on forex spot desks at banks in London - very much econ based.

IS IT REALISTIC that I can get into a top 5 uni with my circumstance, given 90-93%+ at AS UMS and picking up stats and some fm modules in A2 year?

I want to know if it is realistic now otherwise all this reading around the subject is pointless and I could focus my attention to another subject or study more.

I haven't yet been given any good advice or reassurance, can somebody please share their views.
