Economics applicant thread UCAS 2013

You see for Warwick Maths and Econ do you have to take STEP?

Reading the books I said I read on my PS

I'm gonna start recapping C1-4, S1 & 2 after that, and obviously I'm paying a lot of attention to current affairs - the Economist, Radio 4, FT etc. I'm seriously worried they'll pull out some really obscure piece of news and presuppose knowledge of it.

Also, I really shouldn't have mentioned the EZ crisis in my PS - I have no idea what's going on over there anymore *sigh*

ahah same, ive just finished one of them, two more to go! mmm im dreading the maths test, there's so much that it could be tested on out of those three modules! what radio 4 programmes do you listen to? ahah im sure they won't do that, apparently they don't wanna trip you up

Haha, that's what they want you to think ;-)

Ive got another 4 to read! Definitely a bad idea mentioning so many books on my PS :-(

I'm not actually sitting a maths test but I reckon they'll probably ask me about it in the interview. The Today show, provides a pretty good overview of all things economic.

Where did you end up applying for? I remember reading somewhere that you had some solid UMS.

No/no/no/yes *i think*
Nottingham yes but not l100 (industrial economics)

Are you applying to these 4 unis (I suspect by the '*i think*' that you're not)? And okay, thanks .

Economics at Cambridge and Maths and Econ elsewhere. It must have been somebody else you have mistaken me for because my UMS definitely is not 'solid', not compared to the guys here anyway!





Sounds good, I'm doing pretty much the same.

s1 and s2 are soooo long



could you let me know what time the today show is on? i can't seem to find it :/

From 6 to 9 in the morning, shoukd be on Iplayer, that's where I listen to it.

How definite is it that I'll be interviewed by Cambridge btw? I'd be sooooo angry if this revision was in vain. And when do they let you know if you've got one or not? I can't really be asked when there's a chance I won't even receive an interview.

omd it's three hours!? and you listen to all of it? that's mental!

apparently most people get interviewed so i wouldn't worry about it too much

Something like 90% of people, you'll definitely be interviewed

Awesome, does it say on the Cambridge website? I can't seem to find any real info on there about interviews :-S

Lol not really, they give you all the info in the first 40 minutes, then it's just repeated.

I'm actually not sure, but I've read that's it's around 90% (maybe that's the overall average figure for cambridge though, but people with far worse grades than you have gotten interviews, you really have nothing I worry about!
