Will doing Economics, Media & Psychology hinder my application to Oxbridge? (PPE)

I currently do those subjects at A Level, and I was wondering if they will cause a problem.

Most likely, Media is seen as quite soft, there’s no maths a-level and a huge amount of sucsssful applicants have maths if not they’ll have History, you don’t do Histroy or Politics...

But if you score good on the enterence exam and have a good PS and reference which shows a strong interest in PPE you could be in for a chance, but according to stats those choices aren’t ideal since you’re missing both Histroy and Maths

I can't comment for Oxford but you couldn't do Economics at Cambridge with that combination as you don't have Maths. You could apply for HSPS, though, which is an open access subject.
