LSE Maths with Economics or Economics? I can’t make a decision for the life of me

While BSc Economics is more competitive and prestigious at LSE, with the course being their flagship, I'm wondering if doing maths with economics will disadvantage me in any way? As in, would it be a mistake to switch from BSc Econ to BSc Maths with econ at LSE?

Because I much prefer the maths with econ course, (as I enjoy maths more than economics) and it will open more doors for me, which is important because I'm still unsure on what I want to do yet, but I know for certain that I enjoy maths more than economics at the moment.

The thing thats stopping me from wanting to try and switch is the prestige of LSE econ compared to their maths department which are still very good but not on the level of imperial and cambridge or even warwick. And also how hard it is and competitive to get into LSE econ rather than maths with econ

This is starting to get bad now I can’t even get to sleep or do anything in the day because I can’t make a decision

Hi I am a year 13 student so I don’t know much but I would defo say to pick the course that you would like as I feel any course with LSE brings the prestige along with it
