Chance at lse, ucl or imperial for econ

I come from a academically improvised, as my teachers like to say.
Gcse: 98 in math and fm and others are around 6 to 8 with a aps of 7.
Alevel: A*math, A fm, A* economics, A cs.
I have had a month internship and done many supplementary super circulars also got student of the year at school for econ despite being yr12. What's the realistic chances of my getting into this london unis and is there anything I could do to improve.
Thank you for any response.

LSE does consider GCSEs and yours might be a little weaker although I think it's still reasonable to apply - just consider it a bit of a longer shot :smile:

Imperial doesn't offer a single honours economics degree and just has its new data science and finance and economics, course, which is untested in the workforce I might add (I don't think it's even had a graduating cohort yet). In any event lack of A* FM might be a bit of a concern for them similar to maths or CS there.

UCL I expect would be fine.

Thank you that is quite helpful cause I would in between Imperial and kcl, this definitely tipped the scale. As for lse it's better for me to learn that ealier then later so thanks again. I was thinking about sitting TMUA (or MAT) in jan and am also doing a epq. Would you happen to know if they would actually have any impact for my application to ucl, lse or kcl?

They will say on their websites if the EPQ makes a difference.

If they don't ask for the TMUA then taking it will make no difference (likewise the MAT).
