Ahh I see, when you talk about econometrics do you mean talking about reading books about that in the PS?
I'm quite worried but thanks so much for all this info-really helpful! :smile:

It can be in the form of reflecting on a book you've read or just in general, mention how they relate to your current studies. E.g. I talked about how studying statistics gave me the necessary skills to carry out regression analysis, which is an important tool in precise monetary policy management etc

Good luck! :smile:

Other than maths and further maths, did any of you do an essay based subject?

Mostly common subjects: Maths, Further Maths, Economics, Physics, Chemistry (and sometimes History/Politics).
By the way, dont forget that LSE considers Further Maths only as 4th subject. So if you have 3 subjects and one is Further maths, they will most likely not offer you a place. This is only a weird rule in LSE, otherwise Further maths is a really useful subject for Economics applicants and even LSE prefers people who have it (based on what i think).

Hey! I do Maths, Further Maths, Economics & French. Funnily enough, MFLs count as essay subjects! People like me are definitely in the minority, out of about 30 offer holders, I know of only one guy who does German.

I'd like to reiterate what the other posters have said; if you're doing Maths, FM, Econ at A2 then LSE is unlikely to consider you because your combo is 'narrow'.

I have seen many people doing four A2 subjects, mainly the combos of Maths, FM, Econ and Physics/History/Geography/Chem.

If you're doing an essay subject do History/Politics.

Hope that helps and good luck for your exams :smile:
