Is bio, chem, maths a good subject combination for LSE and warwick accounting and fin

I've heard people get rejected before their personal statements are read for LSE a+f based on their subject combination. Plus, the website says this:

There are no set subject combinations, although traditional academic subjects are preferred (including A-level Accounting). We’re looking for subject combinations that demonstrate your analytical and writing abilities.

I feel like I'm at a disadvantage due to my a level choices and will be rejected for not having an essay-based a level.

You can never really be at a disadvantage with those alevel choices, they allow you to do practically almost anything. I’m really surprised you think you’re at a disadvantage with those alevel choices which is a first. And if you read “traditional academic subjects” there’s only 2 things that immediately fall under that Mathematics (and things that fall under that eg economics) and Science. If you do get rejected I promise you it’s not because of your alevel choices

I think nelss is right but if your that worried give their admissions office a call. Uni admission offices are helpful and give accurate info. You can also ask what they consider when accepting aoplicants extracullicars gcses etc. it will clear things up for u

I hope you're all correct and thanks for the advice. I'll give admissions a call as well.

LSE will be looking for a 'stellar' UCAS Personal Statement as their ultimate deciding factor in making you an offer or rejecting you. So, work hard on writing an excellent and 'unique' UCAS Personal Statement.

Also, consider City, KCL, QMUL and SOAS since they're just as good and part of the University of London.
