I'm so CONFUSED

10

Hello everyone I am extremely confused what to apply for since I have A*AA in maths fm and econ (gap year student so I have actually achieved those grades), am not taking the TMUA and want to go to a London university. The only courses I can think of are PPE but those are extremely competitive. I cant take regular econ and my subject combinations are apparently uncompetitive for a lot of other courses so I'm really confused and about to tear my hair out. Thank u :smile:

Hiya,

Do what you're passionate about. You probably don't want to do a course that you'll end up not enjoying. PPE is competitive, yes, but your achieved grades are very very competitive. If you meet the usual min standard offer, why not apply?

Why can't you take regular econ?

Why not try non London unis? I think you're restricting yourself by having such narrow considerations.

If you want to do Econ take the TMUA in January you still have time, and if you want to do PPE apply to some safer schools and some London unis and write a really good personal statement.

Whatever's best will happen.
