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
History, economics, maths and further maths may be a very good choice especially if you're aiming for LSE!
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.
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..)
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

I've done music all my life, currently I do around 3 hours a day atleast... It's not something I feel like I can just give up.. At the time of me doing A level I'll actually be doing less music anyway, so hopefully that should be fine..

Not so sure, I think music isn't awful as long as you get a good grade.. (according to the others on here anyway)
