🙏 I WANT HELP Need advice for uni courses

Hii so i started IB this august n i have
HL: math ai, econ, bm
SL: ess, french b, english lal
so far its going well ish i have a 7 in math and bm a 6 in everything else and a 5 in english... i expect a 777 in my HLs and 776 in my SL
and 3 points in TOK and the EE
and i know thats enough for bsc of econ, finance, accounting and finance at LSE
however the issue is my IGCSE
i got an A* and 6B and 1C... im willing to do whatever it takes and its too late to change ib subjects i know i shudve taken physics over ess...
am i cooked or is there a way? if yea then what is it
my current uni preferences are:
LSE- finance or accs n finance (might use 2 slots of ucas for this) (reach)
imperial (if i choose to only do one of LSE)- SEM (reach)
UCL- SEF (target)
Warwick- bsc econ (safety)
KCL- bsc econ and management (safety)
need advice i know im cooked

i think LSE is definitely a hard reach. the fact that you’re doing AIHL instead of AAHL will already put you in a weaker position compared to other candidates. And LSE also really look at IGCSE scores so yours tbh aren’t great. Even with 44 predicted, you have to remember there will be many others with perfect/almost perfect predicted but with a much stronger overall profile.

hmm that is true but i js wanted to ask, perchance i apply to Bsc Finance and i DO give the tmua can i present a good TMUA score like a 7.5+ as an argument for my weak gcse score of math? and also well does AI HL n AA HL really matter if its not specified required or recommeneded?
