Another am i good enough thread...

Hi everyone,

Sorry to be a bother with another thread like this but i havent had a definite answer.

I got 6A* 3A 2B at GCSE and i'm currently doing maths, further maths, economics, biology, chemistry.

For a while now i've set my heart on studying economics at LSE/UCL but have always though i would not stand a chance compared to other applicants.

Am i good enough?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you get 5As you should be fine. Your GCSEs are not brilliant for LSE but the extra AS should compensate.

yes, LSE depends on your

If you wanna get into LSE economics then you need high module scores, especially in both maths and further maths.

Hi!
I am currently in year 11 and I am hoping to do a degree in economics or a degree largely related to economics too at a place like LSE. I am taking eight GCSEs, they are:
Maths
English literature
English language
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
German
History
What I want to ask is will I be disadvantaged as I have taken only eight GCSEs? The reason I am asking this is because through research I have found that most people actually do around nine subjects.
Also, what A Level subjects would a university prefer for A Levels? I am currently thinking of taking Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics. Is this subject combination strong enough and do you think I should replace any subjects?
I can also take five subject (depending on my GCSE grades), so if I do choose to take a fifth subject, what do you guys recommend?
Cheers
