Hello everyone, i am a US high school junior, and looking into colleges. While searching i stumbled upon LSE, which seems to fit both of my interests (economics and political science!). Unfortunately, as a US student, i am confused by the UK grading scale. I have tried comparing US and UK schools to see about what level they are, but its not extremely effective. So, how do i compare to other students?

GPA: 3.67 (Bad freshman year, have gotten 4.0s both this and sophomore year).
SAT: 1910 (should get up to 2100-2300 when i take the SAT IIs, and retake the SAT Is (i messed up on the writing section, which, comically is the one i thought i would do best on).
Sports: fencing
Activities: Debate team (captain), mock trial, Model UN(maybe captain, not sure yet. I have however won multiple awards for it), Model Congress
I have volunteered for 30 hours, and plan to do about 100-150 more hours over the summer.
AP Classes:
European History,
Government
US History
English
AP classes i am taking next year:
Statistics
Psychology
Biology
AB Calculus
English

So, with this noted, what are my chances? What else should i do to improve my chances, and what other schools in the UK should i look at for political science and economics?

Thanks
