Am I screwed?
I'm in year 12 and I'm interested in going to LSE however I don't have the best gcses. I got 987777766. My maths grade is really high but I'm still scared. I've read the undercover economist and I'm trying to look for supercurriculars. Am I screwed?
I think this would depend on your English GCSE grade, first of all, because they specify they are looking for at least B in both English and Math. It is a competitive uni, so they very likely will take GCSEs into account. The second part is obviously super-curriculars. Reading is good, having an EPQ or an internship or taking an online course could also help. Plus, if you want to do smith like Econ at LSE, you would need very high predicted grades and a persuasive personal statement. If everything else is amazing and the only thing that is not is GCSEs, it is still worth to apply and see.
