Are my University choices realistic? (UCAS)

Hello! i've just join so i'm a bit new to all of this.
Are my University choices realistic?
I'm hoping to study either economics or economics and maths at uni.
AS Grades: Mathematics (A), Economics and Business (A), History (B)
Predicted grades (for A2): Mathematics (A), Economics and Business (A), History (B)
GCSE Grades: 6A*, 3A, 2B
LSE - Maths and Economics
LSE - Economics
UCL - Economics
Royal Holloway - Ecomomics and Maths
Queen Mary's - Economics
I've completed my Personal Statement but haven't sent off my UCAS application yet. Please Help. Thanks.
PS: I don't study further maths. Will this disadvantage me?

Correct, but the standard offer for straight economics at LSE and UCL is AAA. It seems you've got two BBB courses, two AAA and one AAB. Unless you're desperate to stay in London, you should probably reconsider your choices.

Get rid of LSE and UCL and replace them with two less competitive courses... Too many people with 3 A's (or more) get rejected from those two every year to make it worth you applying...

If you would be happy to go to Royal Holloway/Queen Mary's instead of an AAB/ABB course, then I'd say go for it. But isn't Royal Holloway not actually in London anyway???

I thought you only ABB to study economics and maths at Royal Holloway

that's true, but me living in London, Royal Holloway can be easily reached.

I don't know, I was going by what a different poster said. My mistake, sorry. :smile:

Ok, fair enough then. I assumed you wanted the actual city instead of distance.

In that case, just disregard everything I said :p:

You will almost certainly be rejected from LSE and UCL for all of those courses with only AAB.

You should apply to somewhere else, London isn't everything, surely!?

Warwick.. oh shame, you need to be predicted AAA as well. Why not look on UCAS?

Of course.

In a similar position,

LSE- Economics
UCL- Economics
Nottingham- Economics
Warwick- Economics
LSE- Social Policy & Economics

GCSEs: 8A*s, 2A
A level pred.: Maths (A), Psychology (A), Economics (A) attained already, Critical Thinking (A)

Any opinions much appreciated...

Sounds good. But i've based my Personal Statement on Economics and Mathematics. If i do apply for Accounting at LSE, will they take me seriously?

no
