I'm applying to Cambridge Maths. Will I be disadvantaged if I only take 3 A levels and no additional AS? I have no GCSE equivalent as well.
Have you checked out The Student room website? You'll get some good advice there.I'm applying to Cambridge Maths. Will I be disadvantaged if I only take 3 A levels and no additional AS? I have no GCSE equivalent as well.

Yeah, but apply anyway. lots of people apply with 4 or 5 or even more A levels. You should still apply, especially since there is nothing you can do about it.I'm applying to Cambridge Maths. Will I be disadvantaged if I only take 3 A levels and no additional AS? I have no GCSE equivalent as well.
I've asked there, but the only reply told me to ask the admission officer, who is currently on holiday.Have you checked out The Student room website? You'll get some good advice there.
I was told that "most students come with 4 or 5 AS levels, and having 4 AS levels wouldn't disadvantage you". I'm not sure what happens if you only have 3.The entry requirements on the website says: A*AA + STEP
It also says that A-level maths and AS Further Mathematics is essential.
As long as you have those covered then I don't see why you would be disadvantaged.
I thought it is standard practice to take 4 AS and 3 A2 from what I've heard? Actually, I've still got a year and I'm thinking if I should take an extra AS level.Yeah, but apply anyway. lots of people apply with 4 or 5 or even more A levels.

Doing more than 3 A-levels usually a consequence of going to an elite school, which gives you an advantage when applying to cambridge (they do consider the school you went to when you apply. In a fair worl they wouldn't, but they do).
