Can I do Economics?

I'm thinking about doing economics at a top university. Which would be the perfect 4 A levels?
Check out my sticky threads in the economics forum.

But for econ at a top uni for perfection you want:
i) both Maths and Economics A-levels.
ii)Further Maths
iii)A science e.g. Physics
iv)Essay based subject e.g. History

Which I know makes 5 not 4. But:
i)Consider doing 5 not 4 subjects to A2.
ii)If you are intend on doing 4 subjects then starting 5 AS and not 4 gives you a choice of what 4 you carry on in your final year.

Hi, I am in year 12 studying maths, further maths, physics and chemistry and I really want to study Economics or an Economics-related course at a top uni like UCL or Bristol.

Do you think I can make a competitive application with these subjects? According to the 'A-Levels: Relative Difficulty...' sticky in this sub-forum I should be doing history too.


I know I should have done history (instead of f. maths) but obviously I can't do anything about that now. Do you think my chances of getting an offer from top unis has been too greatly reduced to even bother to apply?

I should point out Economics was not offered at my school otherwise I would have taken it (I had my name put down but due to undersubscription it was cancelled). Thanks.
