I want to go to LSE and do a course in accounting or finance or economics

My GCSE grades:
English Lit - 9 (a**)
English Lang - 7 (a)
Maths - 7 (a)
Core Science - a
Additional Science - a
Business - b
Geography - b
RE - b

GCSE: a** aaaa bbb

I will be doing Maths, Economics and Politics for a levels - I believe I will get AAA at least probably higher as i am more motivated i went from grade 5 in lit to 9 in 6 months


I'd say you have a strong chance on getting in, depending on your Maths and Economics grade. If you get A*A*A at A Level then those are grades which are considered safe for Oxbridge. Politics won't be as important but make sure you get nothing low than an A and try to get atleast one A*.

By the way, how on Earth did you go from a 5 to a 9 in English in 6 months? That's really impressive. Please tell me how (I'm just starting Year 11).

Not sure how good a 7 in Maths will look for LSE especially if you're applying for econ/finance.

An 8/9 would have been better but overall you still have a chance, you'll just need very good predicted grades

predicted grades? for a level?


Linear exams mean you won't have real results and your school will need to predict you certain grades when applying on ucas

"turned away from Oxford – where he was not even invited to interview – as well as LSE, UCL, Bristol and Warwick."

and this guy had "top mark in Maths, Economics and Physics as well as scoring A grades in German, Further Maths and Chemistry."


I recognise him! (I went to Brighton college)
