Chances of Cambridge/UCL/LSE Economics?
I want to assess my chances of getting into one of the above universities before I apply. at GCSE I got 9999999987 - at a selective state school (Wilsons) with 9 in maths and A in FSMQ Maths. I got a U in HPQ in however. Hopefully predicted grades should be between A*A*AA and 4A*. I've read some books including Chip War and entered the IEA Budget Challenge but didnt get anywhere. I also take chemistry A level along with maths further maths and economics but I want to drop it.

u should have a decent shot if u do well n ur tmua, for cambridge and lse ur looking at minimum 5.5, ucl might be a little lower, and maybe read a few more books or engage in other supercurriculars coz all of these unis care about ur ps
