There’s no way to know without applying.

You have 5 choices so if you like LSE and the course there and are capable of meeting their entry requirements then apply.

AS above - worth applying, but make sure that your other choices are not all mega-competitive, and not all in London.

I think a B in FM might be considered a bit of a red flag really. But at the end of the day it's only 1 of 5 choices and it's fine ot have a couple of "aspirational" options.

Where else are you considering applying to and for which courses?

lse for actuarial science with placement year
lse for actuarial science (without placement year)
and i still have to decide on a backup

Do you have to study in London? Warwick MORSE should be a consideration , Manchester also.

If your insistent in staying in London the other top universities are ICL, UCL and Kings. I dont know if any of these offer your course. Other than those you clould look at places like Brunel, South Bank, Westminster or Middlesex.

Warwick MORSE only offers exemption from 4 actuary examinations (and the combined course at Manchester only 5)
City, QMUL and LSE have the full suite of possible exemptions (6)
Each exam is an extra ~250 hourse study, £ hour plus exam plus a £300-650 exam fee

Depending where in London you are then Essex and Kent might be commutable to study at an accredited degree

I wouldn't recommend using 2 choices for LSE.
