Chances of getting into LSE
Hi so my GCSE grades were kind of bad- 8877776666 and London School of Economics states that they look at the full gcse profile… if I do well in my A levels (maths, further maths, geography, psychology) as in getting A*s and As do you reckon I have a good chance of getting in or am I finished? Starting to lose hope

Are they IGCSEs? Because IGCSEs are harder than GCSEs.

hi! i’m not toooooo set right now but mainly thinking geography/geography with econ, if not then psychology. would’ve done maths or finance but i’ve heard that applying for an easier course (well, a less competitive one) is easier to get into than a harder course at a good uni

Unfortunately, yes you are. Even if you do get A* predicted as A-level grades, GCSEs were the recent exam point for legitimate scores therefore this is not good for you unless you sit AS levels. To be honest, even the supposedly 'easier' courses at LSE/higher offer rate like geography, many applicants who get offers will still have many 9s and 8s, predicted A*s, a great PS, and a bunch of competitions to a high degree. Maybe look at Manchester/Birmingham/Bath. Hope this helps

So, obviously it will be easier to get an offer for a supposedly 'mickey-mouse degree' such as geography. However, even at top universities, you will require top GCSE grades and top predicted grades and more. However, think about the career prospects as well, where is a geography degree going to take you.

Similarly Leeds is AAA.
Lastly, Bath does not offer a LLB degree. ☹️

by thegeek888KCL is A*AA and requires the LNAT at 30 and above. So, not a chance.
