UCL vs Warwick for economics

Hello, apart from my firm choice, I have only received 2 other offers - UCL and Warwick.
UCL - A*AA,
Warwick - A*A*A
My firm choice is also A*A*A but one A* has to be in further maths, and so if I get two other A*s I could still make the Warwick offer.
I'm more likely to take the UCL as my insurance as it is safer and probably more fun, would appreciate any contribution.

I have the exact same decision to make but for my firm choice. Did you decide in the end?

What is your firm choice if you don't mind me asking?

Hi, I ended up choosing UCL as the offer was a lot safer and its probably a more fun university. My firm choice was Cambridge actually

Ah ok fair enough. I'm struggling to choose because I feel like I'd enjoy a campus uni more. Congrats on Cambridge though! Is it for straight Econ?

Hi, could you let me know what CO stands for, also, just in case you're trying to help me out its a bit late for that, otherwise, I'm happy to answer questions

CO stands for conditional offer. I would like to put UCL econ as one of my UCAS application this year. It would be great if you can give me some insight about what predicted grade and subjects do you have to get UCL’s conditional offer. Thank you very much for your help.

I did Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics. I was predicted 4 A* BUT this was pretty unrealistic, I went to a very small sixth form so everyone got generous predictions, in the end I got A*A*AB

Thank you so much for the stat. Your AL results was also good although the predicted was generous. Seems most pupils got UCL econ offer with F Math A*. I wonder if F Math predicted gr A will be rejected.

Not an expert but I'd hope an A in further math shouldnt hurt your application, my offer did not ask for a spefic grade in further so🤷*♂️
