Investment Banking - GCSE Student

What are the best A-Levels to take for investment banking, and getting an offer into LSE or oxford? Currently, I want to do maths, further maths, and economics. I am considering a 4th but I am not sure if i should and even if I should, I am not sure what it should be.
You don't need a 4th if you're confident in what you want to do. For example, if you know you want to do a maths degree or an economics degree those subjects are perfectly fine.

Have you bothered ti actually look at the A level requirements for these courses on any Uni websites?
It isnt a secret - it will be there written for the world to see.

Start by doing your own research online, and then going to Open Days and asking questions.

I did check, but they recommended maths, and/or fm, and an essay writing subject (economics), but didnt talk about 4 a levels. Thanks.

Oh right. Thanks.

No-one needs 4 A Levels as all Unis only ever ask for 3 grades.

Remember AAA will always look better than BBBB - and that could cost you a Uni place in August.
