Is there any point in applying to LSE with a 5 in GCSE maths?

I’m in year 12 doing A-level history, politics and English literature and wanna apply to history at LSE for September 2025 entry. Unfortunately I only got a 5 in GCSE maths despite the entry requirement being a 6. My results are:
Maths - 5
English lang - 9
English lit - 9
Combined science - 5-5
French - 7
RE - 9
History - 9
Geography - 8
Economics - 6
I was wondering since the rest of my GCSEs are relatively strong and I achieved A*A*A in my year 12 mocks with predicted grades A*A*A* whether they would make an exception. Thanks
Almost no chance tbh. You need to be retaking it to be considered.
