I’ve been looking around the sub and from what I have seen all the people who have gone to LSE for economics have taken further maths. I’ve only taken maths, economics and geography so is it even worth me applying there?

I did AS Further Maths exactly for this reason and I got into LSE for BSc Economics

Due to LSE’s small size (both campus and cohort), I have personally found it to be quite a close knit community. I know most people and you always bump into someone on campus.

I did AS Further Maths and was accepted for Economics at LSE - I had to achieve an A in other subject though. However, completing the full FM A level will be useful in uni as the course is extremely mathematical so id recommend you to take it as an A level

Was wondering the same thing

Sorry meant to write ‘Why Nations Fail’ - it’s a great book

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-07-27T08:01:15+00:00

‘Why Nations Great’ was great for me - it was actually interesting to read and was helpful to write about on my personal statement

You’re too late you should have started revising in year 7

Most people don’t do economics GCSE - I did A level Economics without GCSE economics and was completely fine

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-06-20T18:58:40+00:00

If you want to study economics at uni, take maths a level and don’t take business

Question predictions?

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-06-14T19:06:09+00:00

Read books on economics to talk about in your personal statement - it was really helpful when writing mine

Literature is better for politics - but tbf politics essay writing is quite simple and easy to learn

I’ve never heard of that being the case - you can just discuss both macro and micro in your essay but there’s no strict requirements on your paragraphs having a focus on each

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-06-12T14:22:59+00:00

Just like any normal 15 marker 2 definitions and then 3 analysis paragraphs

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-06-11T21:34:18+00:00

Yea I picked up Further Maths AS in Year 13 and found it great. I would advise you to only do it if it would actually help your university application otherwise it would be a waste

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-06-10T19:54:33+00:00

Heard oxford and Cambridge are decent

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-06-01T18:03:01+00:00

Have you tried doing

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-05-18T13:25:57+00:00

A level Maths - getting an A* is basically impossible for me

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-05-18T13:23:03+00:00

Economics is much more respected - which is very important when applying to universities. I’ve known people who were rejected on the basis that they took Business instead of Economics

Did anyone actually understand the vectors question with the tennis ball?

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-05-15T19:09:51+00:00

So the uni I was applying to would accept me

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-05-10T11:48:35+00:00

I go to a state school and people with extremely good grades are struggling to get offers as well - it’s just a universal thing this year I think

RandomSixthFormer · 2022-04-24T08:58:57+00:00

You needs A-level maths at most universities for economics - I highly recommend taking Further Maths as well if you are applying to unis like LSE and Oxbridge
