Chance me at LSE?

<p>I tried doing this at the student room but i got very few real responses.</p>

<p>I got in for Physics at Imperial but i want to switch to LSE (i'm going to apply while i'm at Imperial so if i get rejected i will still be at Imperial). I was wondering if anybody could rate my chances in getting into LSE. I'm going to apply as an international student paying full fees (not scholarship or anything like that): Here are my grades</p>

<p>GCSEs- 5A* 3As 1B (A<em>in Maths and A in additional maths)
A-level most likely going to get A</em>A<em>AA to around A</em>AAB
In Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry respectively</p>

<p>I'm planning to applying for:
-Econometrics with Mathematical Economics
-Maths with Economics
-Maths and Economics</p>

<p>I'll only be applying to LSE so my personal statement will be very focused on LSE. I have a good range of extra curricular etc.</p>

<p>I know it is very difficult to rate a candidates chances, but can anybody give me some idea to see if this is realistic or not.</p>

<p>I study Law at LSE and see no problems if I’m honest.</p>

<p>You have as good a chance as any, but LSE is known to be very picky about GCSEs. Try not to get a B for your A-Level predictions and you should have a decent chance.</p>

<p>I believe you should be fine for Maths and Economics or Maths with Economics as long as you have double A* in Maths and Further Maths. For most other LSE subjects, it would help if you also offered an A-level in subjects like history or a modern language that provided evidence of verbal/writing abilities in addition to math/quantitative skills. A-level economics is not required, but it could conceivably help you too.</p>
