LSE with Bad GCSEs

How likely is it that I am able to receive an offer with the following GCSEs: 97766665555 for the pure ISPP course?
Have A*AA achieved, with one A-Level I'm sitting in my year out to add to this.
Relevant PS, but not sure if I cut it with this course.

Apologies, I meant to actually put 1 less grade 5 in this.
So my GCSEs are: 9776666555. Note one of them was retaken to meet English Language requirement. I went from 5 to 9.

What grades did you get for gcse English and maths ? The Lse entry requirements state that both need to be at least grade 6 or above. If you fit that and have a good personal statement, I’d definitely say you have a good chance :smile:

oh sorry, just saw your reply about your english grade. lse do value gcses so the fact english was retaken and the fact you have mainly 6s could hinder you. But your achieved grades are really good so probably balance this out?
have you made a decison on whether you'll apply yet?

hey i applied for pure ispp course asw predicted A*A*A GCSEs: 99987776664 id say ur GCSEs are stronger than mine and my A level grades are only predcitions so ur in a solid position. they look more at the personal statment so along as u fit the basic GCSE and A level requirments. I cant tell u for certain if u will get in as its purely based on ps after you meet basic requirments, however if you really wanna do the course then defo apply as you may regret not doing so later. good luck 🙂

LSE is notoriously difficult to gain admission to but UCL, KCL, SOAS, QMUL and City are all much likely to give you offers. 🙂
