Official Warwick Economics Q&A Thread

I was wondering if Warwick views the UMS scores of each modules an applicant has taken at AS-level in order to determine whether or not an offer will be made, as I know that some Unis do and some don't.

Also, would you have any preference to a candidate who has taken four A2s, including Further Maths, over another who has an identical selection of subjects but excluding FM? Especially if taking FM means that the other results suffer (slightly)?

Hi. I have just re-sat year 12. How much of a disadvantage will that put me at when applying for L100 Economics for 2016 entry?

If relevant, my grades were originally DDU in maths A2, history AS, economics AS. They are now A*AAAA in maths A2, history AS, economics AS, f.maths AS, business studies AS.

Thanks

Hey I am wondering if it is worth applying if my target grades for A2 were AAA or would I be rejected due to the requirements being A*AA and the competitiveness of the course?

Hi,

I just got my AS results and I am disappointed with what I got because I think it won't be could enough for Warwick to even consider for the Economics course. I got an A in Economics, an A in Biology but a C in Maths and a C in Chemistry (which I will be dropping). My predicted grades are as follows: A* Biology, A* Economics and an A in Maths. I don't feel comfortable applying since I believe the AS results are weak.

Would there be a point in applying?

Thanks in advance.

Hey, if I did an economics undergrad degree with French as one of the modules then a) is there any option to go abroad for some time as part of the course and b) would the French be a big part of the degree or just a tiny bit?

Hi, I'm just wondering whether Warwick views Geography A level as an essay-based subject?
Thanks

Hi, i am looking to apply for EPIS at Warwick and received 3 A's and a C in chemistry. I knew i was dropping chemistry anyway before the exam. I got an A* prediction in Economics and A predictions in Maths and Spanish ( despite being close to the 90% boundary in both). I am also doing AS italian and AS Further Maths this year. As for GCSE's i got 9A*'s and 3A's.I was wondering how my chances are for applying and what an offer would consist of?Thanks.

Hello,

My as results are AAAB, and my subject are maths, chemistry, biology and English language. I decided to drop biology even though I got an A in that and took on English language because I thought it would be better for my course. However my predictions are now AAB, as my English teacher won't predict me higher. If I now dropped English and took biology my predictions would be AAA. Is it preferable to do English or biology?

Hey,

I have completed my maths a level last year and got an A* . Consequently I was predicted an A* in further maths a2.

My choices for this year are further maths as and a2, a2 economics and a2 chemistry.I am applying for BSc Economics

My question is that if I was to get an offer from warwick , will I be able to drop further maths a2 down to AS (with notifying you) and change the offer? I'm just wondering how likely it would be that you would change the offer.

I'm thinking of dropping further maths a2 down to AS in January as I am really struggling with M2 but I am finding FP1 and S2 really good. I have yet to start D1. Obviously Cambridge want 3 A2s in one sittibg so I won't drop it if I get an offer from them obviously....

Thanks in advance
