Some people rejected from lse for inadequate gcses

Ive heard people get rejected from lse for having "inadequate gcses" despite having multiple 9s and 8s and meeting all requirements. This is quite scary and I was wondering if it may be similar for Warwick

Perhaps, but if you dont try then youll never know
Also consider the sources of your info on rejections based on GCSEs. Is it possible this wasn’t the reason for the rejection? Some people who apply to lse may have high opinions of themselves and if they mess up their ps or an interview because they only really know how to memorise info they might make up a dumb excuse to make themselves look better. Im not saying that is the case, just an alternative idea you might want to consider, if you dont have solid info for what you said

Very true, thank you. I guess a cause as competitive as like Warwick maths or Lse econ will have 100s of candidates with the same a levels and high gcses
