Will I get into Uni?

Hey, there I am planning on applying for economics at various universities in the UK and other countries ( In the UK I am interested in applying to LSE, UCL, Imperial ,Kings and Warwick). I did not have the best IGCSEs ( GCSEs), it was so bad that i got a C in maths but also got a few As ( A in eco) and Bs in my subjects. But I am doing the IB Diploma program and have improved my grades in Maths Higher level ( 6/7) and with a total score of 41/45 but am yet to get a predicted score as, I still have my exams left. To add, I am also doing a research based internship to further pursue my interests in economics and am the founder of a Financial literacy club. So my question is, with my bad GCSEs , will universities in the UK reject me? even though I have improved academically.

Check the required grades listed on uni websites for the course you are interested in, they should list what GCSEs they require. Also, if you are disadvantaged in some way (went to a bad secondary school, had issues at home, etc.) the grade boundaries might be lowered. Look on the websites as some unis have a page discussing this, otherwise get in contact with the unis by emai.

I think you could do with a decent back up plan. I am no expert in your subject area but all those choices look competitive with similar grade entry requirements.
Ditch one or two and look for a couple of decent back ups.
