Chances of getting in LSE for ISPP w Politics

I’m applying to LSE for ISPP with Politics but Economics and Politics everywhere else. My personal statement is very Economics and Politics based but mentions some policy and topics that include policy.
I’m contextual and predicted A*A*B and my GCSEs are 9887776665.

Are my chances of getting in unlikely

Your grades exceed what is required. Assuming that you are studying solid A-level subjects and that the 5 is not in English language or maths, you have a decent chance. Perhaps a better chance had you targeted your PS at the LSE course.

Politics is essays, Computer Science is technical and Maths is numeracy and logic, so you have a solid set of subjects at A-Level. Therefore, you should have a decent chance, as long as you have a 'stellar' UCAS Personal Statement. Because the LSE makes their offer decisions with a lot of weighting on the UCAS Personal Statement. 😉
