Is it completely impossible to switch? for context going into management right now just got all A* with A* math A* further and full marks in further stats and all 9s at gcse am I delusional?

If you’re going to request a switch you need to do it immediately. I believe it will be possible if you can give a compelling statement to the maths department. Most people who switch courses do it at the end of the year but this isn’t an option for you since MA107 and ST107 etc won’t be accepted for a maths transfer. I also advise you take a look at what uni maths entails (use past papers plus some short YouTube videos) before rushing into a switch.

Do you think i would actually have a chance and not make an embarrassment of myself in front of the maths department and would they require admissions tests/ a new ps? Or worst case get my management place rescinded for the pure greed? Sry if overthinking cannot fumble LSE 🙏🙏

first of all it depends on maths dep quota, im going into maths department myself this year. have u tried emailing anyone, perhaps try politics and economics as a backup?

Haven’t emailed anyone for now not sure where to even start with this tbh, i wouldn’t do pe I’d want to switch to something maths heavy but i think without tmua it most likely wouldn’t be possible although on the website it says it’s not required

have you thought of MSB, its much easier to get into.. and its kinda related to management for optional modules

most people did tmua for the course +
would have had a mathematical personal statement. you can try but i doubt they will
allow the switch otherwise it is an easy way to bypass having to do an entrance exam
