I’ve been predicted 4 A*s in A level Maths, Further maths, economics and philosophy, and have been thinking that economics may be a perfect bridge between these subjects as a degree

Recently I was advised that it may be a waste of my potential because it does not demonstrate the extent of the quantitative ability that I am capable of through my mathematics?

Could anyone thats studied economics, maybe at top unis such as cambridge, share any insight? Do you think that there are other courses I should be aiming toward instead?

Thanks,

Been predicted 4 A*s in Maths, further maths, economics and philosophy and wondering if anyone has any opinions on the types of courses/unis i should be looking at? i enjoy mathematics but also have strength in analytical essay writing as shown by the econ and philosophy.

I was originally leaning towarss economics, but was advised that a degree in economics may be a waste of potential as it does not demonstrate those deep quantitative skills that im capable of?

if anyone could help id appreciate, also thinking of applying to the top us universities such as yale harvard princeton mit which offer high levels of financial aid as i think that will also be a good option considering their method of picking majors as late as end of second year, allowing me to try a few things first.
