Cambridge law A levels

Is politics, French, Economics and Maths a good A level subject combination with All 9s at GCSE’s for Cambridge law.

I would have chosen history instead of Economics however I did not do it for GCSE’s unlike Economics thus was scared it would be too hard to pick up at a levels .

I think that your subject choices are strong and would work, but that switching economics for history so that you have another essay-based subject might make it stronger. The more humanities based your subjects are the better when it comes to law (however maths is a great addition).

Your A-Levels are fine, I'd say to focus on improving the other parts of your application (personal statement, interview prep, etc.)

I cannot see any reason for the OP to change subjects. I suggest that he or she might consider dropping one A level, as he or she doesn't need to take four, and doing so may jeopardise his or her grades.

hey, just saw this and thought i’d lyk that i did not do Gcse history like the rest of my year but took it A-level. I’m predicted an A and have an offer from Cambridge if it gives you any hope :smile:

Worth noting A- Level History is an entirely different curriculum, so most students are starting with no more than foundational knowledge( also respected for law), yet so are your other choices I’m sure.

Perhaps I’d think of dropping one- unless you’re aiming for medicine, there’s genuinely no benefit for 4 subjects, but clear potential for drawbacks.
