A-level combinations for LSE/Cambridge/Imperial
I really want to get into LSE for economics/finance/maths and data science or cambridge for econ or imperial for econ finance and data science and my a levels are maths further maths politics and economics. if i dropped either politics or economics but kept maths and further maths would that hurt my chances of getting into one of these courses with just 3 a levels?

Check their entry requirements, if its not clear whether this could be an issue, contact the admissions team for the uni

What are your predicted grades, GCSEs. Have you prepared for the TMUA? Supercurriculars, there is more weight on this, if you cannot achieve a 7+ in TMUA, not worth applying.

I'm only in year 12 at the moment so i don't have predicted grades yet. my gcses were 9999999977, with 9s in maths and physics. i might try and do a bit of work experience next year with a politician abroad, who was at one point in charge of a state owned bank.

Also do you mean that at LSE and Imperial there is a lot of emphasis on supercurriculars compared to other unis?

You do not need a 7+ TMUA.
