How likely for me to get into LSE Econ and Econ History/ Economic History?

kay so child of colour here, the threat of being shipped back to the home country is incredibly real as of now. i am under expectations of either a top 5 uni in the Uk for my undergrad or no education for me at all. Please help

STATS:
(i)GCSES : 9998887773 ( do not ask, 3 was music ) ( unironically i got distinction at grade 8 piano abrsm )

AS Results: ABB ( econ, maths, history )

Potential predicted by January ( bc of resits ): A*A*A* or A*A*A ( history is debatable and i MIGHT be able to get my Full maths a level this october )

be brutal and honest, and please please give me good advice. i am NOT going back to the motherland 😭

sheesh, idk man that 3 makes it look worse overall, and lse specifically look for a body of good GCSES.
However, since the 3 was in music maybe they'll let it slide

if u think you can actually get A*A*A or A*A*A AND u are able to write a REALLY good personal statement I think u have a chance

also I believe its easier to get into economic history than econ and econ history
Email admissions if you’re unsure
