So by the end of Year 12, I will have finished the whole A-level for Maths. Therefore, I would continue studying 3 A2 subjects (Physics, Economics and Further Maths) in Year 13. At Uni, I hope to study Economics. Now, my question is, should I pick up an extra AS subject to portray myself as a stronger applicant? If so, which subject should I pick? I was thinking of doing Further Additional Maths AS Level (if such thing exists) but I am worried it wouldn't benefit me much as an economics applicant. There's also EPQ, which I heard is quite useful because it impresses the admission tutors, but I am quite certain my sixth form doesn't offer it. Anyway, I would like to hear your suggestions?


Nope, it won't help at all. They want quality not quantity when it comes to grades. You'll have 4A2s if I understand correctly, that's already more than the average applicant.

The EPQ is a good thing to do if you have the time and if you'd like the opportunity to explore something in depth.
