Economics applicants 2015

Which uni's are the best AAA courses?
I'm wondering if having only one AAA is a bit reckless, so if anyone has some AAA uni's they like, I would love to hear which ones!

i was wondering if i would be at a disadvantage applying to a mix of straight econ & econ and finance

Hi, I recently launched a site that lists entry requirements for courses in the UK. Here is the page for economics - I hope it helps!

Thanks!

You shouldn't be, what units are you thinking?

I am thinking of applying to
Oxford- econ and management / Cambridge -Economics

any advice/ help would be appreciated

Hi people.

I'm taking a year out and applying for 2015 entry. I applied for straight economics last year, UCL was my firm choice but I didn't get accepted in the end as I got A*A*A but the A was in Maths. Ended up not going to my insurance and instead decided to resit a module of Maths and take up further maths in my year out.
I think this year I'm going to apply for PPE as I'd considered Economics and Politics last year though I've not 100% decided yet. At the moment my choices are a bit mixed as I've got PPE at UCL(new course though), PPE at Warwick, Government and Economics at LSE.
Not sure whether to apply for Oxford or not as only got 3 A*s at GCSE and I've read taking a year out can disadvantage you.

How much do unis actually take the predicted grades into account? I'm predicted A*AAA and I'm worried I'm not going to get an offer from LSE, UCL or Warwick where the usual applicant gets predicted more than that.

Hey, going to be applying for econ 2015 entry, I've already done 2 years of a maths degree at Warwick (decided to withdraw for various reasons...), my results there varied from 8 percent to 85 percent depending on the module, not sure if the unis I'd be applying to would request a transcript though? My average was pretty low anyway, my results this June were an average of about 35% percent and I would have had to have resat next summer had I decided to stay.

Anyway, A Levels/AS: A*A*(Maths + FM)A(Bio)B(German)bb(Chem, General Studies)
GCSEs: 7A*, 2A, 1B

Now the thing I'm wondering is, how will my lack of any sort of qualification in Economics prior to this point affect my application to top tier unis? No university should really be in any doubt over my ability to handle the Maths as I've (kind of) made it through two years of Warwick Maths, but is it worth just sitting an A level in econ next summer so they can give me a conditional offer instead of unconditional if they're not sure about me?

Also I was thinking of applying to UCL for two courses (Econ, Econ + 1 year abroad) as it said it's possible to to this on their website and I think I'd really like it there. Is anyone else considering doing something similar? Also is it the same admissions tutors who deal with both these courses, so it'd be either I get an offer from both or neither, kind of thing?

Thanks!

I'm also applying to L101 and L100!!! Spoke to the admissions tutor and you do in fact have to apply to both these courses separately. I think that we will either be offered both, one or neither!

Hey, maybe I'll see you there! Would you, like me, accept the L101 over he L100?

100000%
It's my first choice even above oxford! Where else are you applying?

Tbh predicted grades are pretty important, but yours are ok. I asked my teachers to change mine last year and they did as long as they were reasonable. What were your AS grades? And did you have any 90% + ums?

If you're not predicted an a* in maths that'll be a bigger issue than the number of a*s from what I hear
