uni applications

if i apply for bsc financial maths and stats at lse BUT also bsc maths and econ at lse, so i apply for both at the same time from my 5 choices, is that advisable? does that give me more of a chance of getting in as there are more possible seats available for me?

Yes, you can apply to two courses at LSE. See point 5 in the FAQ:

You can apply, but for a university such as LSE who cares a whole ton about your personal statement, they will not like it.
You will most likely get rejected for the course you are less suited for pretty quickly after applying, and they will consider admission for one course only.

The fact that your personal statement could be ambiguous enough so as to fit in two different options choices means it is not up to their standard yet. Focus on being more specific.

"Students can apply to more than one degree at LSE, however they will only be able to submit one personal statement. The programmes will therefore need to be closely related to enable the applicant to show sufficient interest and enthusiasm for their chosen discipline. Applicants are only eligible to receive one offer in the same admissions cycle, so are advised to think carefully about whether applying to multiple courses at one institution is the most effective use of their UCAS application."
