E&MFacts:
A*A*AA- in further maths, maths, phy. and econ, respectively. (achieved)
In all TSA oxford practice papers, I've achieved between 38-46 marks
Question
If I write a great PS, do well in all of the logic questions in interview, get approx. 40 marks on TSA, do I have any chance of getting in? Bare in mind: I can't remember much of my economics and don't read well around the subject.
Chances are very slim, right?

Re: E&MI'm not really convinced that you are passionate about economics if you "can't remember much" and didn't read around the subject? How are you going to convince world-leading academics, then, that you are willing to commit to three years of intense learning in the field?(Original post by Charlatan?)

Re: E&MI don't know why you would do that? How is it going to help with your application to create a scenario which isn't accurate and ask for help?(Original post by Charlatan?)

Re: E&MI wanted to find out if you can get in by virtue of just a high TSA score, relatively good interview+ I prefer red to green.(Original post by AnimalSpirit)
