UCL Economics Chances
I am a prospective applicant to the BSc Economics course at UCL and was wondering if I have a chance at getting in without further maths given these are my stats:
A*A*A + A* (Maths, Econ, Compsci + EPQ)
99988887777 GCSE (from average state school)
Good reference, ranked #1 out of 60 in economics cohort
Also sitting the TMUA likely to get an average score ~ 4.8
Good personal statement

UCL Bsc Economics may seem appealing due to the 30% offer rate. However, all of these people are also the applicants applying to Oxbridge economics/PPE as well as LSE. Your stats put you in a good place, but, slightly below average as your average for GCSEs are 7.9. Most applicants who receive offers tend to have majority 9s and a few 8s with all A*s predicted and further maths instead of EPQ as well as a TMUA above 5.5. It would be deemed slightly risky for you. Please do look into Stats, Econ, Finance at UCL Bsc instead. This is also a great degree more aligned to your achievements. Great application on the whole, it is just a competitive course at an internationally competitive university. My advice

Hi I also applied my stats are 3.3 Tmua (School sent an email of how Pearson emailed me saying the validation no of my test score doesn’t align with my profile of smth) A*A*A*A*A in maths econ chem epq and fm respectively. 9977776666 9 in maths and eng lit and 6 in eng lang. I have gotten Manchester econ alr and my ps is good id say with essay comps and super curriculars with a good epq and a maths paragraph. Rate my chances
