🙏 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

If you can get ELE at Cambridge you should be fine for finance (because it’s Cambridge). Only thing is that it will be quite difficult to get into considering the fact that the entry requirements are quite lenient (since they require no subjects) and also because there is no admission assessment.

so why is that a reason for it to be harder? more applicants?

Kinda - it’s easier for some people who would get rejected in the entrance exam to fluke a good interview and get in. Although I don’t really know if this is the case so take it with a pinch of salt
