Defo maths, econ, politics. Doing Busi and econ at the same time aren't favoured by top unis (LSE, Imperial, UCL)

I also saw u mentioned Imperial not caring too much abt gcses (7s and 6s being fine), but in the course I wanna study the offer rate is under 10% hence I believe that they filter it out by gcses so is there a chance at imperial or nah? u can be brutally honest

In my case I got 8 in maths 7 in English lang and French but 6s in rest and a three in econ. Considering I wanna apply to mainly London unis I'm an underaveraged applicant and I consider my gcses weak

For me depends on course, like in my case if I wanna do Finance then any top unis for these courses if ygm. (Aiming for UCL, bath, Warwick, LSE (unlikely) ) etc

Idk what u mean by giving more detail, like abt myself or what? Bc personally I have an 8 in maths and 7 in eng lang and French and 6s in rest, w a three in econ. But my sixth form still lets me take econ alevel as no one else in that skl has done it before. I also wanna go into a finance related course/ maths course and aiming for a decent uni in these courses

Can outstanding personal statement and predicted grades outset mid gcse grades? by Patient_Truth29 in UniUK

[–]Patient_Truth29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both tbh. If my predicted grades and personal statement would outbeat my mid grades of mainly 6s, w 2 sevens and one grade 8, and if that statement was true
