Most people applying to the most prestigious Universities have four A levels but do these include subjects such as General Studies and Critical Thinking.

Depends on what grade you achieved in that subject.
If it's a B or higher go for it!
Most prestigious universities don't even look at those two subjects for several reasons.
I was under the impression that all qualifications (unless they were a U grade) had to be declared on UCAS - even General Studies or Critical Thinking - whether or not universities considered them. But I could be wrong.

I didn't declare my GCSE grade D in English Literature/Human Health & Physiology. Nobody knew, and I got all five offers. Unless it's a required subject/qualification, I was always told that you can choose which qualifications to put down, and I stand by it.

That's strange - especially because a GCSE in English Literature is mandatory for the majority of universities.
'You must enter all qualifications you have a result for, including any which were ungraded'
But to answer the original question, the most prestigious universities don't accept General Studies or Critical Thinking as part of your main A-Levels.

You do realise that if the university finds out, they have the right to kick you out? It's clearly stated by UCAS that all qualifications must be declared.
