Just had a look at the LSE website specifically and they have quite bluntly stated they do not like business as an A level and favour students who take a level combinations with traditionally academic subjects. So if you would like to hinder your chances at LSE (and possibly the others but I haven’t checked) then drop physics but having physics will definitely benefit you more than business will. https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/Prospective-Students/How-to-Apply/Admissions-Information

Hi there

Cardiff Uni student here!

I think it would definitely be worth double-checking with a couple of the universities directly. Personally, I've found that once you meet the requirements for the course, it might be better to have other things to talk about in a personal statement e.g. volunteering, work experience or even a part-time job. So, although, 4 a level is great (still check with your specific schools), if it's making your college experience less enjoyable, or you think it might lead to having a lower grade average, if may be best to have 3 stong A levels and some experience.

I hope this helps!
