Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

I've heard the same thing tbh. But they are ranked fairly high in the economics table? I just know that it isn't very quantitative which is not very typical for a 21st century economics course...

Ok guys, I need your help.

On my UCAS form, I've currently got:

Cambridge
LSE
UCL
Warwick
Bath

I've been told that this combination is too risky, and that I should replace one of either LSE, UCL or Warwick with another insurance choice. Thoughts on how I should go forward?

Oh, and I should've mentioned that I don't want to remove LSE or UCL from the list, and also that I'm currently most keen on replacing Bath with a "proper" insurance choice.

A2 Predictions:
Further Maths: A*
Maths: A*
Economics: A*
French: A*

AS:
Economics 186/200
Further Maths: 497/500
French: 200/200

GCSEs:
10 A*s

So I'm hoping those put me in with a good chance. I've heard of people with similar, and better, grades getting 4 or more rejections though due to over-competitive choices though, which is making me worry a little!

Your choices are totally fine! With those grades you should get at least one offer. Also I would only replace Bath if you would really want to study there if that was your only offer. It doesn't make sense to apply to a university that you don't want to go to just for the sake of having an insurance

well if you put your UMS on the application and have a good personal statement you have a very good chance! if i had grades as good as yours id be applying to Cambridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick and Durham!

Does any one know the different between BA and BSc?

Thanks in advance.

Generally BSc is more maths based, BA is more essay based. (This doesn't count for Oxbridge though, all their undergraduate degrees are BA)

Thank you very much mate,

would you have any idea if I can still apply to a BSc Uni if I did not do A - Level maths?

Because plymouth university is a BSc in economics, I am thinking of applying there but I am unsure I can if I do not have a level maths?

What would you guys say is key to securing a place at Warwick?

Pretty sure you can go to Plymouth without A-level maths (It's usually something like the top 15-20 that require A level Maths), check the entry requirements to be sure



Personal statement, AS levels, predictions and GCSEs, probably in something like that order considering everyone has the AS levels and predictions, they say they place a lot of weighting on PSs...
