can i get into LSE with mid-bad gcses??

hiii i’m a year 13 student who really wants to study law at lse!! everyone is telling me to not bother applying as u need perfect stats to get in. whilst my recent stats r good (A*A*A* predicted and AAAA in AS) my gcses are lacking (i got 988777664). i think i may still have a chance as i wrote my PS according to the lse guide so it checks all of their criteria and am trying to score 30+ on the lnat. i was just wondering if i have a chance at getting an offer?

Definitely have a chance. What was the 4 in if you don’t mind me asking. 6 GSCEs at A and above is good and if you achieve your predicted it just shows you improved academically. I’m not gonna say it’s guaranteed because there are other factors, but your grades look fine.

I am essentially in the same boat in terms of grades, with only 1 GCSE being different - I've been told that I am competitive; therefore you will be. Good luck to you and I hope to see you at LSE in the near future!

hii the 4 was in spanish 💔 i was soo not locked in back then but i hope it wont hurt my chances!!

that’s great to hear!! are u a 2026 applicant too? hopefully we can see each other there!

Nah if its a language its totally fine, most unis have no interest in a language unless its relevant to what you want to study

Wtb 98877776666 for economic history? 8 in econ and history

should be fine. Either way, don't worry about it, you can't change it and other parts of your application are much more important

I heard they just flat out reject for gcses though. Like all that effort just to be docked for smth years ago

I feel like you definitely do!! Those GCSE’s are not bad at all, if you go to a public school they are way above average

what about a 3 in fine arts? overall GCSEs are 88777663 though with mitigating circumstances. AAA in AS and A* A* A* predicted for A Levels
