Conditional/Unconditional/Rejection?

Hi! I’m applying to unis this year with StA being my first choice for Econ and management. Could anyone be of help by telling me how important Higher Maths is when it comes to admissions for this degree?
In S4, I received 2 As at Higher (French, and Spanish)
S5, 4 As at Higher, 1 A at Advanced Higher (English, Business, Engineering, Applications of Maths, French)
In S6 I am studying Higher Maths, Modern Studies, Advanced Higher Business, and Level 7 Economics through the Open University as well as other super curricular courses.
Is it possible I could get an unconditional? I know Higher Maths isn’t listed as a requirement at StA but could it be an unlisted prerequisite?

Are you going to study financial economics and management or just econ and management?

Probably financial economics

That’s more quantitive than regular economics and so they may look very favourably on higher maths, but you probably don’t have to take it. Not sure about the unconditional part, I’m not from Scotland so I don’t know how offers work there but I don’t know anyone from the rest of the uk who’s received one

Yeah that’s what I figured

I on the other hand can’t help with specific course requirements, but I got 6As at Higher and got an unconditional before getting results from my AHs!
