LSE Admission likelihood

I am currently stressed about admissions, I am applying for economic history at LSE (submitted at the beginning of December) and I am an international student who does IB, I have okay predicted grades, with very good HL's (7,7,7 In Economics, History and English Literature) and 3/3 points predicted for CAS/TOK/EE. However my SLs are not great.. I have a 6 predicted in math (which I know LSE values largely) and another 6 in SL chemistry and worse of all, a 5 in French abinitio. I have a great personal statement and solid GCSEs with mostly 9's and a few A's-- is it impossible for me to get in due to my SL math and SL French grade? I am not applying for economics and economic history, just pure economic history. I have received offers from Manchester and Edinburgh already which I'm thrilled about.
Hey
I would check LSE requirements but I believe you need a 7 in Maths and I believe that’s non negotiable - this is certainly true for PEE and Econ but I would check again for economic history

766 is the standard offer and you don't need Maths at 7. So, rest assured you will gain an offer as long as you've submitted a 'stellar' UCAS Personal Statement. Because the LSE often decides to make an offer to an applicant based on the UCAS Personal Statement with so many excellent candidates competing for a place at the LSE.

I am just worried that they say I don't need math but like having a bad grade in math will disadvantage me-- I have seen people get in entirely without A-level math but I feel having a bad grade in math + my SLs will disadvantage me more than if i just did my 3 HL subjects sigh, that is why im worried
