what subject do u want to apply for ? and what a levels and predicted do u have?

What subject?

Just FYI, LSE generally requires at least a 6 in both Maths and English language. Your 5 in English language is likely to disadvantage you in an LSE application unless you have extenuating circumstances.

Not the strongest grades, and will certainly dog your application a little.

However, assuming that the other areas of your application are very strong (reference and personal statement), you definitely stand a chance.

For Cambridge I doubt it'll matter much provided you are predicted A*A*A or above (ideally with one or both A*s in your maths subjects). For LSE as above there may be issues though.
