Subjects to take in A-Levels for UoChicago

Colleges & Universities University of Chicago

<p>So University of Chicago is one of the best business school around and probably my dream school, I just started my on year A-Level course and I’m wondering if I should take Pure Maths ? I’m already having Accounting/Business Studies/Economics. I’m kinda interested in the Business Administration/Finance … Will I have better chance of getting into University of Chicago if I take 4 subjects instead of 3 ( exluding General Paper ). I’m sorry if theres another topic about this but I did a quick search and gained nothing … I’m running out of time, I need to pay for the fees already. Most importantly the duration of A-Levels in my college is one year … So you bet how intense it could be.</p>

<p>1) Chicago doesn’t offer business or finance as an undergraduate degree. It offers economics, and one takes economics along with a core curriculum inspired by the great books. In other words, even our most “businessy” option is not very “businessy,” though you can take some classes at the Graduate School of Business.</p>

<p>2) I’m not familiar enough with A-levels to advise you on what to take.</p>

<p>GSB is the “Graduate” School of Business. </p>

<p>But any A level tests that are not ******** subjects are sufficient, subject to the caveat that good scores are a necessity. Candidly, if you are an British student who can cough up the cash to attend without any aid you are at a significant advantage admissions-wise, since we have very few UK students from a simple international diversity perspective.</p>

<p>they don’t offer placements in subjects in the us (except some special programs), just general university acceptances. Do well on your A levels and you’ll have a good shot.</p>

<p>As to studying business, econ is probably the way to go. You can take some decent courses on the basics of finance, and some on derivatives, marketing, financial theory etc. Probably the best option would be to take courses at the GSB - you can take up to six, and will give you a good chance to survey the different facets of finance you’re interested in.</p>
