Maths and Eng lit are the As, Politics is A*

I've tried but can't get Maths up
Will aim for a decent TARA, is that enough?

I'm applying to Oxford PPE and LSE PE (my school didn't predict me an A* in Maths and that's the requirement for PPE at LSE)

I've heard that at LSE, because there are no interviews or entrance tests, personal statements must follow a very rigid structure and A*AA is too little to be competitive.

Is it worth applying, and if so, how should my PS be structured?

Because I'm applying for PPE everywhere else, would the Philosophy side of my PS hurt my application?

I'm applying to H&P, but the last time I studied history was in Year 9 😭 but I have become interested in history recently

Will I be disadvantaged without a GCSE or A-Level in history (I did Geography at GCSE and am studying both Politics and Eng Lit in year 12)

I was thinking of doing an essay competition, reading a few books and podcasts, even my EPQ is geared towards International law and its too late to change that

Is it worth it or should I consider sticking to PPE or Law?

(I don't do Economics either so both PPE and H&P rank equally for me with Law just beneath them)

Are MADAS Maths MMS papers year 1 or year 2?

for context i was homeschooled so i did 8 gcses, getting 9988877A - would they compare that to the homeschooled average, my online school (kings interhigh) average, or just national average
