How do you mean?

Obviously, you have to convey in your personal statement why you want to study economics. This is key. But to be fair, many people begin a degree in economics without having done it at A-Level. Often universities assume no prior knowledge. What matters far more is your mathematical ability, hence why often A-Level Maths is required, and sometimes A-Level Further Maths is recommended.

Otherwise, once you have applied, and been accepted, just enjoy your summer holiday and be prepared to put the work in on arrival at university.
