LSE Accounting and finance chances

AAA predicted with maths and two other preferred subjects.
GCSE's: five grade 7's, four 8's and one 9.
Eligible for contextual offer.

From the thread title, I assume that you're asking what the chances of an offer are? Your A level and GCSE grades are fine. For contextual candidates they ask for "AAB with A in Mathematics", which you exceed. They also ask for "A strong set of GCSE grades including the majority at A (or 7) and A* (or 8-9) | GCSE English Language and Mathematics grades should be no lower than B (or 6) | We also consider your overall GCSE subject profile", so you clearly meet the requirement.

The problem is that too many well-qualified candidates apply to LSE, forcing them to turn away hundreds of candidates who academic profile meets the requirements. We can see from their published statistics on Applications, Offers and Entrants by Programme (below for BSc in Accounting and Finance) that last year they made just 265 offers to 1,929 applicants.



So you have about a 1 in 7 chance of an offer. Even if we allow for the fact that some applications may have been "speculative", with candidates applying who didn't meet the entry requirements, that still probably means only a 1 in 6 chance for those who meet the entry criteria.
