    Actuarial Sciences!

    I've many friends there too studying Actuarial Science. So, your friend had 4 different traditional courses for his A levels. Well, I never said it's not possible to get in without Further Maths.

    Oh boy. I didn't tell you to drop FM. But if you can, after the exams for whichever subjects you now chose, take another subject for the next session, then do it and send your predicted grades. :)

    1) You said yourself, 4 AS. 2) I'll explain another way. Just like for SAT, Maths level 1 and Maths level 2 are not counted as two different subjects, FM is just an advanced level of the traditional Maths course. I think it's clear enough. The rest is your choice. I'm just trying to help...

    Think of it from the point of view of the admissions tutor. I'd still advise you to take another subject.

    That's kind. Thank you. :) Well, yours resembles Xanthippe. I like that name a lot. She was the wife of Socrates.

    Time management!

    I have to admit. For Economics, I used almost every book I could get in hand.
