The RG isn't really meaningful in this context - it's a political lobbying group that masquerades as a postgraduate research consortium. In either event, membership shouldn't be a factor of consideration in which unis you choose, as it has no bearing on anything consequential. Successful grads from LSE, UCL, Oxbridge, and Warwick are not successful because those unis are in the RG, and there are plenty of average unis in the RG.

Most RG unis outside of those noted ones will have no issues with applicants without A-level Further Maths. KCLs economics degree is only about 4 or 5 years old, QMUL is pretty average relative to other unis that offer strong economics courses, and there are stronger options within and outside of the RG where A-level FM would not be essential - for example Nottingham.
