Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

so here's my dilemma. i have already sent my ucas off and i'm worried i won't get in anywhere. i applied for bristol, leeds, birmingham, southampton, sheffield with 2As and 2Bs at as. i got 3a*s 6as and 2bs at gcse and i'm predicted 2As and a B even though my B in history should be an a cos i got an a for as last year. i know bristol will say no, that was just a dream choice but what are my prospects for the other four?

be brutally honest.

wow... that's some incredible stuff, you are so talented :P

Thank you! WOW! To hear that especially from you!

Your background knowledge is frightening man.

Thanks Which lecture did you watch?

what are your as and predicted grades like? did you put your module scores down?

Thanks for replying how long was this after acknowledgement letter thank you

I skimmed through the monetary policy one and the America in crisis one.

Well done on the offers and Cambridge interviews guys!
Just out of interest, I was wondering what aspect of economics interests you the most?

At the moment rationality is interesting for me!

Right thanks. One last thing, how far into the A2 material are we expected to know? I'd expect the earlier parts of the units such as the Philips Curve and the theory of a firm stuff for sure but what about the others? I'd hate to be caught with my pants down, so to speak. But, the less material needed to cover means the more detail i can cover the material in.

So what are your thoughts on it? We are not rational after all?

I got AAAA at AS and my predicted grades are A*A*A, and I'm doing AS FM as well. I put the grade I got in C1, C2 etc. but not the UMS on my actual UCAS.



I think it was within a few days.

What A-Level subjects are you doing if you don't mind? I'm currently doing four AS Levels but I'm not doing Further Maths. Did you pick up AS Further Maths in Y13?
