Further Maths as a third for law

Hi,
When I chose my A-Levels originally in the summer i had absolutely no idea about what I would like to study at university so I chose the three that I am the best at, (further maths, maths and economics). However, recently I have been thinking about it and have decided that I would like to study law. I am wondering if having further maths as a third would hinder my chances of getting into a law course at university, especially competitive ones. I am able to switch further maths for history which I am assuming would then make it a better combination and I did enjoy history at GCSE and got a 9. However, I love further maths and think I would be able to acheive an A/A* and would obviously prefer to do it over history. Any help would be really appreciated, thank you.
Can you not do four A-Levels?

Would you enjoy law then? All your interests looks maths based. You could do a degree similar to your a-levels like economics and do a law conversion afterwards!

I think I would enjoy law, I really liked english and history gcse and i enjoy writing essays. I love maths but I wouldnt want to do a degree in it or something similar as none of the professions after graduation really appeal to me at all.

I could but the only other one Id want to do is history but it clashes with further maths so i cant do both.

I think then switching further maths for history is a good idea then. At least you will stay have some maths but also some writing which would support a law degree.
