I'm currently taking Maths, Economics, ICT and Business Studies, I've just finished my AS exams and am predicting ABAA respectively. I'm unsure on what to do for A2, I know I'm definitely taking Maths and Economics forward to A2 as they are quite well respected subjects but am unsure on whether to drop one of Business/ICT or just carry them both forward (As they are quite easy and I enjoy them.)
I'm aiming to get into a top 15 university for Computer Science, I know Maths is a must and social science subjects are also attractive, which is why I have choosen Economics as well. However I've read that Business and ICT are considered 'soft' A levels so I'm wondering if I should just take them both through as then I will have two solid and two soft A levels.
I was originally studying Physics instead of Business but stupidly dropped it after a few lessons having missed the first few lectures and not knowing what was going on, something I severely regret now.
I'm currently learning C++ and want to have a good understanding of it as well as Python by the time I apply to a University, I also plan on reading up on a few computer science theory books so I have an insight into what I can expect with a degree, has anyone else been in a similar situation? Would it be more beneficial to just take all my AS levels through to A2? I've heard different stories from different place, some say Uni's only look at your top 3 A levels and just ignore the fourth, if that's the case I don't see why I should bother with a fourth subject.
