Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

Groat Have you filled it in ?
When it says:

Indicate if you are taking any of these additional Maths qualifications. (Select all that apply)

AEA

STEP

IB Further Maths

Additional Further Maths AS/A level

Other
If you selected other please specify

Is the one that says "Additional Further Maths AS/A level" the same thing as FM A level ? So I am doing AQA Maths and Further Maths, do I tick the box that says "Additional Further Maths AS/A level" or is there a difference between it and Further Maths ?.

Thnx

yep, just about to start it!

How did you get the questionnaire? I did not get anything yet, I am applying for straight econ. What did it say?

If anyone can answer, that would be a big help thanks!

The purpose is to ensure that we have more consistent information from our Economics applicants and so can make more informed decisions.

I'd say it's quite important, but as you're not doing A-Levels you may not receive it?

Ah okay so they ask you about A Levels? UMS scores etc.? Sorry I don't know anything about that, hence my stupid questions :tongue:

Additional Further Maths is beyond Further Maths (when you do 15 modules in total for the AS, or 18 for the A2).

So, if you're just doing Maths and Further Maths, leave it un-ticked.

I wonder if people will regret saying they're doing STEP when LSE give them an offer including it. :colondollar:

maybe its not a bad thing not getting the form, just means we've informed them well... I hope so anyway,

can someone please detail on what sort of questions are on the saq??

I'd already put all my UMS onto UCAS, yet all the form is basically asking for are all your UMS scores. You'll probably get the questionnaire soon, don't worry!

Does anyone think that those who are doing STEP will be more likely to get and offer ?
btw has anyone herd of LSE giving out STEP offers if you let them know your doing STEP ?
Should I put down STEP or not (I am doing it in the summer)?

step is so difficult... and arbitrary... i can get a 1 on some papers, and 3 and u on others... thats one of the reasons i switched from maths to econ

is ums and extra maths exams all they ask in the form??

They just ask whether you are doing any other maths exams like STEP/AEA and your UMS, that's it.

If you're doing it, yes. But remember that LSE don't interview, so don't be surprised if you get an offer and it happens to have a 1 in STEP tagged on the end.

Still no questionnaire from LSE and I applied for Economics, is this a bad sign? :frown:

If someone isn't doing it, should he do it just so he can put it down and increase the chances of an offer. A STEP offer is better than no offer eh?
What do people think ?
