Economics at Oxbridge/LSE without full Further Maths?
Hi! Has anyone been offered pure Economics at Cambridge, Oxford (E&M), or LSE with just AS Level Further Maths (not full A Level)? How much does it matter compared to full Further Maths? My school does offer full Further but i just didn’t take it! Any advice appreciated!
93% of successful applicants to Cambridge for Economics had an A-Level in Further Maths, so 7% didn't. I can't say how many of those 7% had AS Further Maths or how many of them did not have the option to study the full A-Level. Generally some leniency is given if your school did not offer the full A-Level, but this would not apply to you. Some colleges do require the full A-Level but not all of them. If you are able to take the full A-Level, this would help your application.

Yep, Oxf E&Mer here and while I did take FM there are a fair few here who didn't. Cambridge/LSE I think do require it however.
