"Achieve a strong set of GCSE grades including the majority at A (or 7) and A* (or 8-9) GCSE (or equivalent) English Language and Mathematics grades should be no lower than B (or 6) We also consider your overall GCSE subject profile."

What does the overall GCSE profile mean? I am also looking at LSE as a possible uni in the future and am taking my GCSEs now as well

I think it's deliberately vague or that LSE might not like too many less academic subjects such as PE or art?
