Got into University of leeds but may not get into Warwick and LSE. Have read on many forums and leeds always comes under either non target or low semi target.

Concept of target isn’t as hard and fast in the UK - Leeds is a good enough university that provided you put the effort in the other areas (grades/interview prep/extra curric etc.) you will have a good throw of the dice (but by no means easy!)

If you do end up at Leeds (or any other "non-target" - not a big deal in the UK like US) make sure to take part in as much extra-curricular you can from day 1. Things like the student investment/corporate finance team will help you massively when it comes to spring week applications. Tbh if you get a good spring week under your belt going to a non-target won't hinder you at all imo.
