How hard is UCL to get into for economics?

Hey I was just wondering how competitive UCL when applying for economics? What GCSE's/A levels would you probably need to be considered? Thanks in advance for any feedback it's really appreciated

predicted 3As at A2; ABB (then, now AAA) at AS. REJECTED!

Probs my personal statement that did me in, citing the KKK in an application is never a wise move huh?

They turned me down with 11A*'s and 4A prediction (inc Further Maths and Econ)

cool thanks for all the feedback I was thinking of doing economics, maths, chemistry and geography in 6xth form does that sound an alright combination?

Which is? Sorry for being dim!

Very.

Three As at A-level minimum, very good interview technique, and lot of A*s. Minimum, really.

How'd you manage to slip that in there?!

Interview? You're very unlikely to get an interview at UCL for Economics L100; they hardly interview anyone.

Perhaps, but that probably wasn't because they didn't think you were academically capable. By the sounds of it your subjects could have been a little but more varied. What was your PS like?

UCL, along with LSE, Durham, Bristol and the like are very competitive. Economics at LSE and UCL especially. But please remember they base their offers on more than academic abilities.

I think you need: -

AAA at A level (including maths). Plus another AS level in addition to the usual GCSE requirements (C in English and Maths).

OP: It's very hard and don't underestimate the importance of the personal statement.

yup not to sure about what to drop at the end of the year though :/ which ones to do you think I should carry on to A2?

Entirely up to you. It depends on your strengths and weakness'. You've got a year so just see how it goes. Other people on here would know better than I do, but is it necessary to do both maths and economics through to A2? Maths is but I think economics may be a good one to drop there. It will be good to have a solid science A-level, so try and keep chemistry. Geography's good to keep, it's an excellent an interesting subject, very flexible and desirable (both art and science).

You have to do Maths until A2. Further Maths would be useful.

You don't have to do Economics, although ~80% of people on the course did.

Maths, Econ, Chem and Geog is a decent enough combination.
I don't understand why people like dropping a subject at A2, they're all such a piss-take and people doing only 3 just end up wasting free periods throwing paper aeroplanes, playing tetris, or masturbating, but if you had to drop one, lose Geog.
