LSE chances

LSE is my first choice of uni, for Finance or Economics (I am yet to decide which one). My predicted A-Level grades are 3 A* (Maths, FM & Econ). I am doing EPQ in an Economics based subject, part of the school Econ society, also entering a few Econ essay competitions, I am also reading the Economist and Financial Times, directing a school production and doing a drama production outside school. What are my chances of getting in and what else can I do to boost my application please?

It would also depend on other factors such as GCSEs. What are your grades? You can obviously not change your gcses so continue focusing on super curricular things

No one here is gonna be able to tell you your chances. You have the ideal stats, but many people even with those kinds of stats still get rejected. No one can really say for sure, it's quite luck dependent honestly

You have good stats, you need string personal statement. Make it a compelling story. LSE’s instructions on SOPs are very detailed, follow them. Add some voluntary work in the mix

thank you for this information I also found it insightful. Which instructions for writing SOPs from LSE are you referring to, where can I find this please?

When you start filling out application the instructions are there on the portal
