Guys do you believe that Further maths is needed if I were to apply to do Economica at university?


Only for LSE and Oxbridge, you'll be fine for the rest.

how likely is it to get an offer from warwick and lse as I know they are super competitive, So realistically speaking, what are the bare minimum requirements?


Warwick is not as competitive as LSE.
If you are a decent applicant, you should get an offer from Warwick.

UCL and Warwick are approximately the same level. I have heard that students love Warwick university's campus (I havent been there so I dont personally know). It is really up to the applicant and his/her preferences to choose between UCL and Warwick.

They are both competitive, but from what I have seen, Warwick is easier to get an offer from for BSc Economics.

I'be heard bad things about Warwick's accommodation and social life. TBH I just put it down as a 5th choice.

I live in London with my siblings, so I applied to London universities and Cambridge. Therefore, I did not apply to Warwick. I would have if I could though.

I don't know much about it, as I mentioned in my previous post.
A very popular reason why some people choose Warwick over UCL is because they don't like living in London (for different reasons such as the high living costs).

Some people hate it and some people love it.
You should probably visit London and judge it yourself.

What subjects did you do for AS and A2?


Math, f math, econ and geog
Just sent my UCAS application off for pure Economics at;
Bath with Placement (4 Years)
Nottingham (3 Years)
Surrey (4 Years)
Loughborough (4 Years)
Kent (4 Years)

My subjects: Mathematics, Economics, Business Studies, and an EPQ which is also Economics related (yep I love it really :u: )

My predicted grades: A*AA + A* in EPQ
i'm reconsidering putting down LSE as i don't have further maths? i'm predicted AAAB, any advice?

You don't need FM for LSE, but it is helpful. At any rate, they only want it as a fourth subject. But... you do know that the entrance requirements are A*AA with an A* in Maths, right? If you're predicted AAAB then you will probably be rejected.
