A level choices help needed

if I choose English Lit, Maths, Physics and Economics as A Levels. Realistically, am I likely to get into any high ranked universities for an Economics degree? Or do I need to have Further maths or Statistics even though it’s not an official requirement. Should I replace Physics with Further Maths even though I don’t want to?

You will only need Further Mathematics as a strict req. if you're applying to Cambridge / LSE.

You should be fine for Warwick / UCL etc. without Further Mathematics; however, there are likely to be other applicants who DO have Further Mathematics and might therefore have a competitive edge. But your application won't be disregarded solely cause you don't do FM.

You;ll be fine for Durham / Bath / Nottingham etc. without Further Mathematics.

Just depends what you mean by "high ranked" really.
