hahahah, very flattering, but although my grades look fairly impressive, I know that cambridge ask for module scores. I was borderline A in biology and economics. 15 marks into an A in Maths, and 25 marks in an A in Chemistry. Not too impressive by their standards.

Cambridge

Wagwan economists, I'm likely applying to Oxford, UCL, Warwick, Birmingham and somewhere like Durham/Bristol/Exeter

Suggestions on the 5th?

Good luck to everybody!
