LSE Predicted

I am in year 12 currently working at an A* A* C with my C being in maths. I doubt i can achieve A* predicted as only a limited amount of students are allowed that, so will probably be predicted A , is that good enough for LSE

Depends which course you want to apply to.

The subject page will tell you under Entry Requirements > A-Levels. Your offer should be A*AA so you probably need to get the grade up to an A, but as long as you don't choose a maths-focused course (as I don't suppose you will), you won't need an A*.

What about PPE or Econ

At least most of the economics-focused degrees want the A* in maths, given how essential it is. Might be worth looking at similar courses with more of a focus in your other two subjects if you don't get the A* predicted.

Fyi - don't want to dampen your hopes but most LSE straight Econ students would have A-Level further maths. It would be very difficult to get in with an A in regular maths...

Less so for PPE however
