A* in Further Maths = A* in Maths ??????

I think that only UCL and LSE actually specify maths to be the A*, but email them to check if further maths would make up for it. If I were you I would retake maths to get the A* though.

UCL and LSE aren't exactly the biggest fans of applicants who retake, espicially after our two years in sixth form/college

Oh you've done your maths in two years? It is going be difficult to get an offer from them in that case, especially if the further maths is outside the two years. You might have a chance with Warwick if you A* in another subject though.

Why is Further Maths outside the two years?

I think he has done his maths A2 over two years, and got an A. Now, to improve his application, he wants to do further maths. Correct me if I am wrong though OP .

yeah I've done 'normal' maths over the last two years, and I haven't done further maths before. So its not like I'm resitting anything with further maths, so are you saying they still won't consider me even if I get A* in it?

According to Imperial College London Mechanical engineering department they don't care as long as you get A* in either of them

but it clearly says here that they want A* in maths and they don't mention A* in further maths:
