Warwick: Economics Or MORSE?

nice choice mate, i would do morse if i could cope with it

Just sent my reply to UCAS with MORSE as my firm choice, thank you for all the responses. Now to do the Warwick Accommodation form!

I've just checked my UCAS application and have finally got an unconditional offer for MORSE (Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics & Economics) at Warwick. I'm definitely going to study there, but I now have the dilemma of choosing which course I want to do there as I already have an offer for Economics at Warwick. I'm sure I'd enjoy both degrees so I guess the decision shouldn't matter that much, but I still have no idea what to do and both course seem to have equal pros and cons. Any opinions on the courses or suggestions on how people have gone about making their final decision would be much appreciated.

Wolfy what course u doing? and where?

Good choice; I doubt you would regret it (unless you find MORSE too hard)

I am putting down MORSE as my firm choice too... so hopefully if I get my grades i'll be on the same course as you!!!

I do MORSE at warwick. be prepared to work your little arse off because it's pretty tough & very different to A-level maths.

Hopefully see you there then! Where are you from? What accommodation are you applying for? It's nice to find someone that is actually going to be on the course next year, as all the people I met on the Open Day were deferring entry and going for gap years. I'll probably find MORSE difficult to begin with because I haven't done that much academic study since my A levels last year, but I'll be revising my Maths & Stats in preparation.

I'm from London (Leytonstone)

Accommodation... well I haven't looked into it much (haven't got all my offers so havent sent of firm choice, waiting for UCL offer/rejection and for UCAS to update with Birmingham offer), but I liked Jack Martin (ensuite) in the open day tour.

I might not get onto the course if I miss my grades
If I miss my grades what do you think is better:
a) BSc in Maths and Economics @ LSE (ABB required)
or
b) MSci in Maths @ Imperial (ABBb required)
???
I am pretty sure I can get these grades (but unsure if I can manage to get the MORSE grades AAA or AABa) but I havent got a clue which one would be better. Was leaning towards Imperial because LSE isn't that good in maths but now I am unsure as the LSE course might be more employable with higher potential pay as LSE is harder to get into...???

I wouldn't worry too much about finding it difficult, usually the 1st year is easier because not everyone has done economics/stats/OR... but I suppose its best to revise your A level stuff so u aint totally clueless when it starts... if you have that thickish white MORSE handbook it tells you in quite high detail what you (and hopefully I) will be learning in the 1st year so you can revise the stuff most relevent to the course.

maths and economics at lse would be my choice, i might apply for it next year

nice choice mate, i would do morse if i could cope with it

ive gone for the economics and math course....how diff is its course content from MORSE?and are the job prospects good after??!!!

I do MORSE at warwick. be prepared to work your little arse off because it's pretty tough & very different to A-level maths.

A-Level subjects are:
Maths
Physics
Economics

AS-Level subjects are:
Further Maths

what are they asking from ur AS f maths? i've got an AAA/AAB offer too, depending on what i get in the end for further maths..

so i take it everyone doing MORSE will be brilliant at maths then..

so are you planning on going there to do morse? ur doing AS further maths too?

Is it easy to get onto MORSE at the start of the new term ?

Any of yoy guys know how easy it will to change to MORSE?

They did tell us that they do take ppl from Maths & stats into morse... probably coz they are very similar courses and in the same department. However, it would be tougher to change if you are doing something in another dept so it would be best to email them and ask. Personally, I don't think they will allow it unless they have a fair number of empty places, but there is always a chance. Either way its best to email them and ask ASAP so if there is a few places going, u will be one of the first in line to take it.

There is quite a few potential morse'ers here now... Hopefully I will see most of you guys there!!!

Erm i dont wanna change just yet. Problem is - i applied for a sponsership for a Engineering company. its TOO good to pass up so if i dont get it then i will hope to swap. I can always re-apply through UCAS next yr....not that much of a problem....
