Would Warick consider me?

Say I was predicted A* Chemistry and an A in maths and further maths. 8 A's 3 B's and a C at GCSE. Together with a cracking personal statement. Achieving an A in chemistry and maths/further maths but a B in physics to be dropped.
Warwick would be my favourite and according to Which Universitiy they give 61% of applicants offers. My four other choices would be; Exeter, York, Manchester and Cardiff.

They also say lse gave offers to 8% of applicants so that sounds about right

Yeah and I would have thought that Warwick Economics would be similar, given that it's one of the best in the country for econ
For Economics at a top Uni like Warwick you will not get an offer unless you meet the admissions requirements in all aspects - and even with A*AA you are not guaranteed an offer. Many more than the 61% you quote will have had all that and a good PS, and still not received an offer. So make sure your other 4 choices are more realistic : http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/How_to_avoid_getting_5_rejections

Nah everyone at LSE/Oxbridge has Warwick offers so 61% is reasonable

Not exactly sure what this means, but the official Warwick economics person posted this in a thread:

"It varies from year to year. In the 2011/12 cycle for example we received approximately 4000 applications from around the world (only 30, or so, were below the entry level). I don't have details on number of offers made to applications (less than 1:4 I would suggest), as from this 4000 only 360ish students were confirmed a place."

Doesn't that mean that less than 25% of applicants were made offers? Idk I may be misunderstanding what they're trying to say...

Even if it was 25%, what we're trying to say is that it isn't that competitive compared to LSE/Oxbridge

Fair enough, but it's a lot less than 61%

Would a joint economics and maths degree be less competitive?
