Cambridge engineering

Hi im in yr 12 and am doing a levels in maths, physics and econ and jsut dropped chem as my fourth but now i’m not sure if this will affect my chances at getting an offer from cambridge. I would like to apply to their engineering course and specialise in aerospace engineering or electrical. i also know as i’m not doing further maths i might disadvantaged but am thinking of doing as level further maths outside of skl. would this help my application?

If your school doesn’t offer further maths then they tend to be understanding of this reality, in general I would encourage you to go to open days and explain your circumstances and ask the admissions tutors first hand, only they can really advise with how they would react (and look at the admissions data available). If your school offered further maths then i think you will be in a tougher situation & one thing to way up with privately sitting further maths is how would this impact your other A-levels…

All schools in England and Wales can offer Further Maths -

Really? I don't think that's true.

Yes it is - AMSP offer online teaching in England and the Welsh equivalent do this in Wales.
It's not expensive either.

Wow! So what does it do? Provide online teaching of further maths in schools that don't have teachers for it? Who pays for this service? Nevertheless, it remains true that not all schools do offer Further Maths, even if they could through this scheme.

This has existed for twenty year or so so all schools know about it - I regualrly promote it on here.
All schools in England and Wales can provide Further Maths A level is a correct statement.

Okay, I can agree then that it's a correct statement, but it wasn't a helpful reply to the person you replied to because they were discussing the possibility that OP's school didn't offer Further Maths, which could be the case (yes, yes, despite the fact that the school can offer it).

Yes but it's a lie to say that a state school in Engalnd and Wales cannot offer FMaths - unis know this and it won't look good.

Okay? The person you replied to didn't claim that the school couldn't offer maths. Seems like you just wanted an excuse to tell someone they are wrong when your information wasn't even relevant.

Of course it's relevant if the OP is planning to claim this or anyone else in a school in England or Wales.
I'm trying to avoid an application going in the bin because they have lied - surely that's the most helpful anyone can be?

hi thanks for all the replies. sorry i should’ve clarified my school does offer but i didn’t consider taking it at the start of the year which is my fault i am aware- im going to start taking a level further maths privately and hopefully it goes well
Thanks for the help
