Hey, can I ask what course you applied for at UCL?

Are you international by any chance?

Also, would you mind telling me what you got for GCSE/AS-level, as well as your A2 predicted grades?

Thanks, just scouting the competition :tongue:

Ok, i'll answer these in the order asked :P

Straight economics (L100)

Nope, I'm english and study in the UK.

GCSEs: 10 A* and an A in Eng Lang
FSMQ:A
ASs: Maths A ( 284 out of 300; C1:99, C2: 100, D1:85), Further Maths A (278 out of 300; FP1: 99, S1: 93, M1: 86), Chemistry A (278/300), Biology A (277/300) and Economics (192/200)
A2 (Predicted): 5A*s

Scouting the competition is what 90% of people are on here doing...

Hi guys! I am really interested in good economics course. Basically, I am sure that I am apllying to UCL and LSE, but not about others... Can anybody write me good unis for Economics? I have already checked lots of pages with rankings, but I am hesitating. I has taken innto consideration Bath, York, Bristol and Warwick. Btw. I am doing IB and my predicted grades are 34-38.
