I want to study finance/econ/accounting after my A-levels but I have been struggling with the requirements (specifically Russel group unis or American schools since I would love to go back to America after college and go to a uni like NYU)
This is mainly because I just finished my GCSEs and will be moving on to A-levels this September and my biggest issue is maths, this is because I have a feeling that I got a high 6 (B) instead of a 7 (A).
Most colleges require a 7 to study A-level maths and in turn many Russel group unis require A-level maths for finance related courses.
The reason for my lack of performance is because on the first maths paper I started panicking and couldn't think but paper 2 and 3 went amazing.
I'm fairly confident that I got a 7 and above in all of my other gcses besides maths so I honestly don't know what to do.
Here are the GCSEs I did and what i predict I am getting;
(English lang- 8/9, English lit - 7, Maths - 6, Science comb - 7/7, Sociology - 8/9, Psychology - 8, History - 6/7, German - 7, Re - 9)
The a-levels I plan on picking are the following;
If I get a 6 I plan to choose
- Economics
- Psychology
- Politics
- As level further maths (my college only offers as further maths)
If I get a 7 by some miracle I will be picking the following
- Economics
-Psychology
- Maths
I need some advice because I'm not really sure whether I should retake gcse maths if I get a 6 or wheter I should just do further maths AS because it contributes to ucas points and maybe makes me look even more qualified on my applications.
