Your predicted grades are strong, but LSE and UCL PPE are very competitive. LSE typically looks for AAA and UCL for A*AA, so you meet the minimum for UCL and are close for LSE. Your personal statement, references, and any relevant supercurricular work will be key. You have a good chance for UCL, LSE is slightly riskier but still possible if the rest of your application is strong.

Make sure that your other two choices are far less competitive - these three, Warwick, KCL and UCL are very competitive, and you could miss out on an offer from all three. They get thousands of applications, and every year they will also reject thousands of applications from people who meet or even exceed the entry requirements. Make sure that you have less glamourous/out-of-London choices as a back-up.

I think you could definitely go for 2 of the London unis (UCL/KCL/LSE). Warwick, on the other hand, is a bit of a safer choice; they had an 89% offer rate for PPE in 2025, and it looks like it's going to be something similar this year, considering how they've been giving out PPE offers since October. LSE will place emphasis on your GCSEs and personal statement. Other universities which I would recommend are Manchester and Leeds, both of which have high offer rates according to UCAS, and rank highly for economics-related degrees.
