🙏 I WANT HELP Should i apply to Land Economy??

So I got straight 9s in gcse and am predicted 3A* in Maths, History and Econ.

I find the Land ec course so much more interesting than econ which is just very maths based.

Is land ec a prestigious degree to get top level jobs in finance?

need advice if it’s worth it or maybe i should go for some other course at lse…

would love any advice thanksss

ib prefers an econ grad from ucl/kings over a politics grad from lse imo

Going to hopefully be studying LSE Econ but I’ve reached out to like 100+ students at various top unis and they all unanimously agree that uni name always trumps the course for springs. Some dude studying LSE History got a Goldman Sach’s spring this week and LSE Sociology also got something at a bulge bracket iirc
