'Variation' in A level choices

Whoa-...
Believe it not music is actually mostly an essay writing subject at A level anyway.. I get if it's not expected as one though lol
Thanks (:.. Ijust realized if LSE don't accept maths and further maths as two but only one then economics will be my third to them and that's not acceptable to them... I Need to do some research right now

Okay so I'm in year 11 and I've been asked to choose my A levels. I can change my decision if needed...

Basically, I want to go into investment banking (probably) (like I like money,) so LSE is the place I'm aiming for (gotta have those high aims.) Problem is I've noticed people saying that 'variation' is important in your A level choices. I'm thinking:

- Maths
- Further Maths
- Economics
- Music

Now here's the question, music is variation.. right...? Like.. its not gonna be discarded as a useless A level.. right??
(I find music a bit of a joke but its an easy A* for me.... literally..)

I would advise you be careful since you said about being sick of music and wanting rid of it after A Levels. I know LSE for Economics at least although joint maths courses are different, only consider Further Maths as a fourth subject, so you would be stuck with music for the two years even if you did end up getting sick of it

You've already had a lot of good advice, but why would you study music if you hate it before you've even began the A-Level? It's going to be 2 years of your life so you might want to consider another subject that you might enjoy more.

Admittedly I'm not an admissions tutor but given that maths, further maths and economics is considered too narrow a set of A levels one does need to add a 4th A level if they want an offer from LSE but I'd doubt that adding a subject such as music would particularly set yourself apart from the crowd, especially given that the top applicants would likely have undertaken the first three subjects and a more academically challenging A level such as say physics or chemistry
