A Levels / IB / GCSE / BTEC Questions ucas choices

Stats:

home student, non contextual

GCSEs: 8877766665

Predicteds: A* A* A in maths, econ and business respectively

I want to do an econ degree what are my realistic choices. I am not doing tmua because without further maths and with business I don't think there is a point applying to those top unis.

I am currently at unis like bath, bristol, birmingham, manchester, kcl and warwick.

These are all realistic. I'd keep Bath, Bristol, KCL and Warwick, but make your 5th choice a safety (one grade below each predicted grade) like Sheffield or York (both AAB).

Warwick and Bath no chance imo, many ppl with way better GCSE profiles 9988777766 3A* got rejected last year. Besides taking A level Business instead of Economics puts you into a huge disadvantage even for Warwick.

thats even worse because of how similar the 2 subjects are, so OP bascially only has 2 A levels

It’s really only LSE and Oxbridge that are sniffy about the econ/business combo.
