UCL geography and economics/economics

I’m in y12 my A levels are Geography, Maths, business studies, Spanish

I’m probably going to get predicted on A*,A*,A,A*

Do I have a chance of getting into(or how can I improve them):
ucl geography and economics or economics
Oxford economics and management
Kings economics

my school doesn’t offer economics as A level

You don't need Economics at A-level to read Economics but Further Maths is highly desirable (and probably necessary if you aren't doing Economics)

Universities aren't in the business of making applications look more competitive than they are.

I agree, did you find a link to where a uni mentioned above has stated a position about further maths?

They don't do that for obvious reasons. Universities are in the business of encouraging as many applications as possible. There is a big disconnect between what they say and what they do in admissions. Please believe me when I say that you mustn't take selective universities' very generous minimum admissions requirements as a guideline to what really happens.

But these universities do offer places for applicants that don't have further maths, don't they?
Can I ask where these insights have come from then? Could you give a bit of background about your experience? It helps when I give advice to others if I know, for example, that this comes from someone who has worked in university admissions.

One of my parents is an international admissions consultant

And they told you this about attitudes of 3 universities economics courses' attitudes towards further maths?

It's not an attitude, it's just facts. Economics is a very popular degree and exceedingly competitive and it is the business of guidance counsellors to collect data about what makes a student profile competitive

Could you answer the question then?

What question did I not answer?

Was it your parent who told you about the attitudes of 3 universities economics courses' attitudes towards further maths?

It's part of their work and I also sometimes do some interning so have full access to all the collated FOI requests and historical data on clients

That sounds like a very polite way of saying no?

Not at all - it's been the discussion in my family all my life. One of the reasons that universities don't make FM a requirement is that some schools don't offer FM and it would therefore be discriminatory to make it a requirement. However, if your school does offer FM, most selective universities would expect you to take it if you want to study Economics.

I understand what you are repeating, I'm just trying to establish the evidence behind it. I've never known a family that have been discussing the entry requirements for UCL economics all their lives.
