Would I be at a disadvantage?

By the end of Year 13, I will have these following qualification

A-Level: Maths, Economics, History
AS-Level: Further Maths

I have already achieved:
A-Level: Maths A*
AS-Level: Economics - A, History - A.

I am studying A-Level Economics, History and AS Further Maths in Year 13, however would universities hate the fact that I am doing 2 A-Levels and 1 AS-Level this year, some unis I'm applying to is UCL, LSE (for BSc Economics)

Nevertheless, I am being predicted A for Economics, A* for History, and A for AS Further Maths

Would these unis ask me for higher entry requirements than usual, or regard me as lazy - this is how our school structure it, so it is beyond my reach,

Thanks

I don't think it's a problem at all, especially if that's how your school structures it. At the end of it you'll have 3 A levels and an AS so I can't see it being a problem. They definitely won't ask you for higher grades :smile:
That should be okay. My school structures A-levels in a similar way, and the only people who have issues are people applying for competitive courses in competitive unis. If you want to keep your options completely open, it would be advisable to take 2 A2s and 2 ASs, but otherwise you should be fine.
