Economics degree

Hi, I really want to do an economics degree in a top target uni like LSE, Oxbridge, etc. and I was thinking what sort of extracurricular/volunteering would be useful specifically for this.

Hii, thank you so much for helping and also congratulations!!! Economics at Cambirdge sounds so cool. I was wondering what extracurriculars you did, and also if you did any volunteering or work experience? Also do you have linked in as I think it would be good to connect there for more discussions.

I participated in the UKMT and the swiss equivalent, I was house captain and a member of student council (in a school with about 60 sixth formers so was very easy), I helped at a lunchtime maths help as a part of duke of edinburgh (which i did), I play football and a little basketball

Did you read any econ books, attend econ programmes or lectures or any specific video or website you used to show your deep econ knowledge or your maths knowledge. Also do you think I stand a strong chance to get in with just AS level further maths.

I dont really use linkedin but you can have my email or smth if you like

Hi, I'm about to start my 1st year studying Economics at Cambridge, and for the 1st time in half a year have come onto the student room. Anyway, I'd love to help you out however I can based on my experience so ask as many questions as you like

hey!! im applying to econ courses this year and would love your advice/tips etc. do you have an email or instagram i can contact you on?

Ill send you a dm on this rather than sharing my stuff on this thread

Hi , so im currently in year 13 doing economics , physics and maths and my predicted grades were AAB , the B is in physics btw . i had a strong set of GCSE's i want to apply to manchester , birmingham , lancaster and southampton for economics bsc . However , i want to apply to one aspirational for accounting and finance and i was thinking either KCL, durham or bristol because it's less competitive and i heard investment banking look at schools first then courses but i'm not sure its a good idea . Can i get some advise ?

You kight as well go for an aspirational but be careful because, if you apply for acckunting/ finance your personal statement won't be so strong seeing as it would have been written about economics. Also, my mate got accepted to c but rejected by durham for economics and law, so durham is pretty hard, and kcl might want an A* so those might be too aspirational

So , i shouldn't apply to kings ? I was thinking durham for finance because the entry requirements are AAB but i'm not sure if Manchester is stronger than Durham
