Applying to Russell Unis for Economics

Hi everyone

I am doing Maths,Economics,Art and Persian for my A levels and I want to do Economics in University. None of the Russell Unis require anything else other than Maths and Econ(except for LSE and Cambridge that need further maths as well I assume?) I know I am going to get an A* in Persian and if I get a highh grade on my TMUA as well,they don't really care that I'm doing art right?(as long as I get a good grade in it).And also I am predicted A*in maths and econ as well.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks

LSE only "require" FM if your school offers it.
Taking art is perfectly fine too.

Just a comment that its too early for a secure A* prediction in Maths as you won't have covered any A* topics.

Just don't apply to unis that require FM.

You should read LSEs guidance on language A levels if they are in your mother tongue or in a language you are perceived to have an unusual advantage in, e.g. the language of a country where you have lived part/most of your life.
LSE and other unis may not count that towards one of your 3 A levels or exclude it from an offer.
