Chances of getting an offer from UCL Bsc Economics?

I'm an international IB student looking into applying for UCL economics and here are my predicted grades: 7,7,7 in math AIHL, economics, and business management and 766 in SL subjects + 2 core points totalling to 42/45. With a decent personal statement, do I stand a chance of receiving an offer for Bsc Economics at UCL?

Requirements listed are: 19 points total in HL subjects, achieving 7 in either stream math HL and 6 in economics HL, with 39 IB points minimum.

Here are other unis that I'm applying for (also for Econ): LSE, Warwick, Durham, Bath

Take a look at last year's UCL offer spreadsheet here. If you filter for Economics (in about the 15 different ways people name that course!), and then glance down the list for candidates taking the IB you'll see these candidates who did not receive an offer (plus the reason given):

• IB 777 at HL (Math AA, Econ, Business) - Strong competition
• Achieved IB 41 776 HL(Maths, Econ, French) - Other applicants more competitive
• IB 41 predicted - (HL 776 Econ, Math AA, English) - not as strong
• 45 IB HL: Math AA, Eng L&L, Econ - Strong competition
• IB 44, HL 777 - Strong competition
• 45 maths econ spanish HL - not as strong
• IB 44 (HL - Maths 7, Econs 7, Psych 7) - Application not as strong as that of others'

You will also see these candidates who did receive an offer:
• IB 45 and HL Math, Econ and BM, 10A* IGCSE
• 44 IB, 777 HL Maths AI, Econ and Bio

Note that causation is not the same as correlation. Some of the above decision may have been based on things other than the IB itself.

Sure:
LSE Offer Spreadsheet 2023
Warwick Offer Spreadsheet 2023

A few things to point out:
1. These spreadsheets are created and completed by users of TSR, so may not be representative of applicants in general.
2. The information which people provide may not be accurate.
3. The past does not always predict the future.
4. Correlation is not causation.

Good luck anyway!
