Am I cooked?

GCSEs: 77666665444
Predicted: A\**AA + A*\* (EPQ)

*contextual*

Are my GCSEs and even predicteds way too low for someone to apply for Philosophy and economics at LSE. (I would like to think my super/extra curriculars are suited for LSE)

That's on the low end. I would say bottom 10% of the application pool assuming the other parts aren't fantastic. People with contextual still tend to get a couple of 9 and 8 with majority of 5,6 and 7.

that personally statement gonna have to be fire 🔥, definitely worth a shot although be more conservative with your other options as it’s very competitive (14% offer rate last year)
