I have a problem. I graduated with very hard combination from IB: natural sciences (except biology) all HLs, Economics HL, HL Math and two languages SL. In practise, I did 5 HLs but IBO allowed only 4. Yet, I cannot get to the best universities as the border is 38, despite my extra HL.

My plan was to study Math and Finance in LSE. Now, it seems I cannot. I desperately need recommendations of universities that appreciate my IB certificate. They can be anywhere, but they must the best ones. I need new challenges! Is there any other excellent university in finance and math than LSE in UK?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! You made me realize that I actually satisfy the minimum requirements. Where can I find other degrees in "Math & Finance/Economics"? I still wonder whether I can get to degrees with minimum requirements 38 points.
