Course(s) you're applying for at LSE: BSc Accounting and Finance
Other universities you're applying for: not 100% sure but Edinburgh and Durham
GCSE grades: 8888888888
Predicted A-level grades & subjects: AAAB (Chemistry, Economics, French and Maths) - however these aren't my final predictions so they will hopefully be AAAA (or higher) when I apply. I also do an EPQ but LSE don't care about that lol.
Home country: UK
I am really worried that my predicted grades will not be sufficient despite them being the requirement for the course.

Hi guys,
I’d love to apply to LSE, but I don’t know if I’d even be considered. I have 10 GCSEs:
Grade 8: 1
Grade 7: 1
Grade 6: 6
Grade 4: 2
English Language is a 6 and Mathematics is an 8.
These are very average, I know, so - even though my A-Level predictions meet the entry requirements - should I not apply?
*I was thinking of applying to Politics or Politics and Economics*

Thank you for this (if you’re being serious, I’ve never heard of a G before). I believe my personal statement is really strong and so do those who have proof read it. It covers many modules that LSE teach. I would really love to study Politics and Economics (which receives about 800 applications every year) but I think I could be safer with Politics alone (only 200 applications each year).

It seems you are very confident in your personal statement- so I strongly recommend you apply. I would play it safe and apply for straight politics if you really are set on studying here
