I have also read that international grades are not reported to the ranking institutions, thus schools weigh LSAT scores stronger for international applicants, and though 'Average' is not a good classification (and not exactly true IMO, definately around top 15-10%), an MSc from LSE should also signal that I am able to do well in class.
Anyway my applications are out so nothing left to do but speculate

Did you manage to appeal to LSAC for your transcript evaluation? top 10-15% definitely shouldn't be evaluated as "average", even with all the bullshit they said about your UG not being equivalent to a US UG degree.
You will have a shot at some of the lower T14s, and you can almost definitely get into the vast majority of the T15-20 schools, but yeah I agree with pleasesendhelp in that T6 might be a bit of a reach.
I did appeal, and they changed my grades slightly, but not their evaluation. However, many failed grades were contained in my transcript that were only there because I was unable to deregister from the corresponding courses when my schedule became to full with extra-curricular commitments. Still, I have notified schools that LSE requires a 2:1 or a GPA of 3.5 to enroll which are higher than average grades. Unfortunately my school does not provide class percentiles or rankings, so I need to hope the T14 shows some mercy.
Last cycle I applied with my inequivalent undergraduate degree and average ranking, and although I was rejected from HYS, I was WLed at all other T14s down, so am hoping for more love this cycle
