LSE for Sociology

Hi, I’m thinking of applying to LSE for Sociology. They say you need a majority of GCSEs at grade 7–9. My grades are 9, 8, 8, 8, 7, 7, 6, 6, 6 so 6 of them are 7 or above. For A-level I’m predicted A*AB, the entry requirement is AAB. Do I stand a chance?

Yes your grades definitely meet the requirements just make sure to study extra on the subject which you are predicted a B in to make sure you reach this grade or higher. If you don't get this B you may have to look at other courses.

Which subjects are the grade 6's achieved? 😧

Which A-Levels are you predicted A*, A and B? Because if the B is in History then you might have to remark your papers, since it has happend a lot recently. ☹️

I achieved 6s in Combined Science: Trilogy and Mathematics. I’m predicted a B in English Literature.

You meet the requirements. Just focus on exam technique and do as many essays under timed conditions and get your teacher to mark them with critical feedback on how to improve too.
