Chances for UCL economics?

Hi, I know it's hard to say how likely someone is of getting an offer but any attempts would be really appreciated as i need help deciding on uni choices..
I got 10A* at GCSE, if all goes well this year 3A's at AS and should have at least A*AA predicted,
In terms of subjects do Maths, Economics Geography and AS Further Maths (and an AS in French)

Would I be likely to get an offer?

Thanks

Definitely! As much as people bang on about personal statements, unless you're applying to Oxbridge or for medicine/dentistry, universities will give you an offer if your predicted grades meet typical entry requirements. Good luck!

Thank you very much! So you don't think that me doing only AS Further Maths will be too much of a hindrance?

dont get worked up about only having AS, AS is more than enough.

Not at all - if it's not listed under typical entry requirements, it's not necessary.

I get your point but this directly contradicts what 'Metrododo' is saying?

Load of rubbish. 49% dont even have further maths. AS further maths will more than suffice.

Yes, as long as you:
- Get those 3 As in AS
- Do AS FM (If your doing it this year make sure you get an A) If your doing it next year the grade won't matter as it won't be part of the offer.
- Get at least an A*AA prediction, preferably with (one of) the A*(s) in Maths
- Write a decent personal statement

I'd say you have a pretty good shot at an offer. You won't need A2 FM, I got in without it so you should probably too.

Thanks very much, with regard to the predictions, am I right in thinking if I'm not predicted an A* in maths I would effectively have no chance as its a requirement for this course?

Considering UCL Economics has 11 applicants per place (to put this in perspective cambridge economics is 7 applicants per place, and that it the highest applicants to places ratio across ALL cambridge courses, even medicine is 'only' 6 applicants per place) and most applicants will be predicted the standard offer or above, it really isn't going to be that simple.

So from this I can draw the conclusion that I have no chance? Right?
