The reason I’ve focused on math in this question is because that’s what I believe may be pulling down my application the most and I want to know if thats true.

I just want to know is my math pulling me down if I’d apply econ?
I need to make a decision based on the answer to that question.

I feel less concerned about the other parts of the application (although yes they shouldnt be ignored) because:

I have had As throughout high school in my history and economics
IB predicted 7 in business-management sl, 6 in Econ hl, 6 in English sl, 6 in math hl, 6 in physics hl
My extracurriculars have a good mix of certain sciency and non-scientific and they are above average.
My personal statement shows insight to the more creative side of me
690 on reading&writing (yes thats the low point)

Since my expertise in math has been somewhat wonky that’s why I’m asking this question. Is that making or breaking my application if i applied econ
