Economics applicants 2015

Do universities respect biology as an A-Level if you wanna do economics?
Bearing in mind I am doing Economics and Maths A2 as well
Any advice would be great

Yes it classes as a facilitating subject so I can't see why there'd be any issue with it

You could always apply as a bit more of a what if, you've got 4 other choices so 1 A*AA uni could be alright, although I'm not 100% convinced whether you'd get an offer with your AS results

what do you mean by facilitating ?

Ok, in that case I'll probably just apply for unis with AAA or below. Can you think of any other universities (with good job prospects) that I should consider applying to?

It really is up to you though, like I said you have 4 other choices so if you really want to give York a shot apply there

And sorry but I'm not too sure, the ones you said in your other post on the thread seemed pretty good though

Should I maybe apply for an A*AA course such as at York, or would that be a waste of space on my UCAS form?

you could always try. sometimes you never know what the top unis are really looking for. Thats my plan with oxford! putting it down just in case! then doing significantly easier ones for the other four

I'm just worried that top universities would automatically reject me because of my average AS grades, which is a reason why I want to play it safe and apply for AAA to ABB unis. However, I don't want to miss out on a place at a top university just because I was taking a conservative approach.

Hope you remember me, ninjapanda

So I *think* I have narrowed down my 5 choices. Warwick, Nottingham, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leicester.. Although, I have queen marys competing with birmingham for the third spot and manchester competing with glasgow for fourth.

Anyone here has a opinion on queen mary? They pushed up their entry requirements to AAA from AAB just this year, seems to have great graduate prospects and is the only on-campus uni in london. besides that, i don't know much, im afraid..

glasgow's campus looks like freaking hogwartssss.

Woo hey!

Yay two the same as me, warwick and notts woo, so you're a campus fan like me then

I would say with Birmingham they did give out some unconditionals last year for a couple of subjects (econ & geog and biology I think?) so it could be a good bet because an unconditional offer before you've got your A2s could be tempting

I know there are a few others on here thinking of queen Mary but I have no idea
Although on the note that it's increased it's entry requirements, a few others have too this year, yorks gone from aab to a*aa so I'm assuming this means economics is more and more popular

campuses all the way, aha! what are your 5 choices again, if you dont mind me asking?

I am rethinking my life decisions again today. I am considering York or Edinburgh or Queen Marys as my fourth instead of glasgow, my research into that uni has really put me off..

How would you guys rank these unis:
Bath, bristol, nottingham, exeter
