Basically my problem is that would like to do Economics at uni, so far i have got the following offers:
Queen Mary- AAB (Likely to be firm)
City- AAB
Royal Holloway- ABB (Maybe insurance)
Brunel- BBC (likely to be insurance)
And i was rejected by LSE for economics and economic history (AAB)........
My prediction is:
Maths- A
Economics- A
Further Maths-B
But i'm sure that I can get an A* in maths my only problem was S1 last year and also I can get an A* in Economics as well.
My problem is that after being rejected by LSE, i feel incapable of doing well in the future careerwise. As I would like to work for a major banking or investment firm, working as a stockbroker, investment banker, someone who specialises on Sharia compliant market or be a financial consultant. I feel that by going to QM i will be put at a significant disadvantage even if I get a 2:1 or a first in comparison to someone who did as good at a Russell group uni.
I have been speaking to many people in the city and some other links, they all said my choice of universities wasn't very good, but i got to stay in London to due to personal reasons. One contact who works at the human resources department at Goldman Sachs said that they look at where you get your degree from, they personally look at whether the universities is a top 10 uni in general
I was looking at the prospects of doing better than my predictions which I am very confident of, so I believe that could try doing adjustment despite the very low success rate.
Anyone have any ideas on whether any top universities for Economics do adjustment? In particular SOAS or LSE ( I know probably they might not, but i need every lead i can get )
Also anyone know whats the best route I can take into getting into a top job but still going to QM? Like I was thinking masters, but its like £20+ at LSE
All the help will be appreciated
