Do I have a shot at any of these unis?
Applying for Management/E&M everywhere
Predicted 44 in IB with 777HL
IGCSEs: 5A* 4A
PS more of a 50/50 to 60/40 split on economics and management. Mentioned multiple books, a work experience, essay comp and then a few extracurriculars in a small paragraph that I linked back to the skills needed for my courses.
I applied to Durham, KCL, UCL, LSE and Warwick
Im also an international (is that an advantage or disadvantage? Or is it just neutral)
Thank you

First off, your grades and predicted scores are really strong considering it's near perfect, so you’re already in a good position academically for all the universities you’ve listed especially for competitive courses like Management and Economics & Management.
The way you’ve written your personal statement sounds solid too, linking work experience, essay competitions, and extracurriculars back to the skills needed for the course is exactly what admissions tutors want to see.
As for being an international student, it’s generally neutral or slightly positive, depending on the course and uni. Some universities value international perspectives, and it can show adaptability and cross-cultural awareness.
On the flip side, some unis may have slightly stricter grade requirements for international applicants, or your school system may need to be mapped to UK equivalents, but that’s usually straightforward if you’re following IB.
Overall, your profile looks strong for all of your choices, and the international aspect is unlikely to be a disadvantage.
Ulaw,
Alfred.
