Im predicted AAAB and A* in epq and eligible for contextual can I get into lse econ

My predicted grades got bumped up to A*A* AB in maths, economics, AS chemistry ( not achieved yet) and physics in that order, and an A* in an econ based epq. Can I get into lse economics (requirements A*AA) as a contextual due to extenuating circumstances regardless of the B? And what would help?

Entry decisions at LSE are based on a full review of your predicted grades, your personal statement, reference, and any contextual information or extenuating circumstances you provide.
Meeting the A*AA requirement is important, but LSE does consider applicants with a mix of grades if strong contextual factors are in place. The best thing you can do is make sure any extenuating circumstances are formally submitted through your school, and that your reference clearly explains how these circumstances affected your performance.
Ultimately, the admissions team will look at your whole profile, not just one grade, so it’s still worth applying if you feel the course is right for you.
