What are my chances with these unis (Oxford/LSE)

Achieved 4A at AS (Maths,Physics,Business,Economics)
Predicted A*A*A*A in (Maths,Physics,Economics,Further Maths (AS)
GCSE's: 6A* 5A Distinction (A* in any subject relevant to courses)
TSA score (Confident I will get a 70+)
Personal Statement: Good but varied as applying for a range of courses.

Choices:
Oxford (Economics and Management)
LSE (Management)
KCL (Economics and Management)
Exeter (Business Economics) - Offered
Liverpool (Business Economics) - Offered

What are my chances since i'm not really interested in going to Exeter and Liverpool and regret applying there (would maybe go to Exeter). Worried my GCSE's might ruin Oxford chances, plus maybe personal statement is too management based.

Why did you take BS and not FMaths A level?

LSE say "Further Mathematics provides helpful preparation for this highly quantitative course, although it’s not essential. We’re happy to consider students with Mathematics, Further Mathematics and one other A-level (ideally an essay-based subject)."

They won't count both BS and Econ AS results.

I regret taking Business AS, so that's why I didn't take it onto A2. I was never really offered FM as an A level since nobody in my sixth form took it, only when there was a high demand for it from new year 12's was I really offered it. It was just poor planning on my part that im having to make up for now, hopefully the AS will be enough but I dont have high hopes.

OK - I was going to suggest you tell your school about AMSP but they only offer FMaths tuition to state schools in England.

You can access some of their resources here:https://amsp.org.uk/teachers/a-level-further-mathematics/resources/fm-videos/
