I am about to start year 13 and am going to be an early applicant to Cambridge Economics, as well as the same course at Warwick, Bath, Durham and Exeter. I currently take A-Level Maths, Economics, Physics and History, predicted 4A*, and am also doing EPQ and AS further mathematics on the side, as well as work for entrance exams etc., and I am considering dropping a subject to reduce my workload, as I don’t want to potentially reduce my grades because I am overextend my resources. Should I drop history, EPQ, or not drop anything? Would it help my application to Cambridge to keep them all?
Also, given that I am applying to Trinity Hall, which requires an essay subject, does Economics count as an essay subject or would I have to keep history for it to count as an essay subject?
