Good chance in getting top 15 / RG Universities

Originally was planning to do Economics,Russian Language, Business Studies, ICT as full A levels, however didn't like the fact that I had little to no facilitating or "non-soft" subjects.

My new set of subjects would be:

Economics, Russian Language, ICT A-Level
+ Philosophy and Ethics / Business Studies both at AS Level

Would that be a decent set of subjects, and how beneficial is my decision to change my subjects? Whats worrying me is that I will have ICT in my PS, but is the overall picture looking good?

From what I know they want at least 2 facilitating subjects for most courses and you have none, what do you want to do at uni?

Not really no...

I'm not sure if Russian language is a MFL, if it is then that's good.
Try and get geography in there, perhaps in place of ICT, it will go well with economics. Switch philosophy and ethics or Russian language ( if not a MFL) for English lit or History, and if you're brilliant and hard working at Maths, switch Econ to maths.

So if you want to do law, then something like Russian language , Philosophy and Ethics, English Lit And Geography would be good.

For economics, Maths, economics, Russian language, geography/history/English/ science would be fine.

But don't do ICT... Computing would be better.
