Is it worth applying to UCL with these grades??

[INDENT]i had poor AS results with a BBBC but all my B's were max 3UMS away from A's. Im going to be predicted an A*AA (A* in maths) and i know im capable of getting it and will get it.

Im planning to do economics at university and i'd like to know whether or not it would be worth applying to UCL with those AS grades.[/INDENT]

To achieve an A* you need 80% at AS as well as 90% or above in all A2 modules, so to be predicted an A* from a B UCL may not look fondly upon it, I would even advise re-sitting a module if it is something you have considered? If you believe you can achieve A*AA then by all means apply. I am going to UCL to study geology, not a highly competitive course yet there were many applicants with AABB or higher at AS on my interview day for a course with typical offers around AAA-AAB just to give you some idea of the competition. Economics at UCL is a very competitive course as it is practically the best department in the country so I imagine there would be many applicants with higher AS grades. Make sure your personal statement is 10/10 and emphasise if you have any extra-curricular activities! Good Luck!
