Default Help! uni/course help?
 
Hey, i am in year 12 studying Maths, Geology, Economics and ICT (also taking general studies.) I am predicted 4 B's but it could be CBBA as ive just started the courses. I am really worried whether universities will see my subjects as 'respected a-levels'? As i want to attend a 'good' university do you think this would be possible with my choices? Also does anyone have any idea what kind of courses i could study with my options as i am totally lost and haven't really thought my options through. Hope this makes sense and someone can help me. thanks in advance

I changed my mind a million times thurout the last two years from chem to engineering....

However, you can always take the UCAS Stamford Test which helps to match your interests and abilities with possible subjects.
i think it is far too early to decide so stop worrying and focus on you AS,

I'm no expert but you may want to think of a course first before you consider the rep of the uni. I'd imagine you could do economics, business related courses and ICT related courses (e.g. computing). You also might be able to do mathematics but the majority of people I think do further maths too. I don't think theres any harm in thinking about it now- I spent a lot of yr 12 deciding what I wanted to do at uni.

thankyou, the Stamford Test was quite useful and I have a bit more knowledge on what kind of career paths I can choose.

Thanks for all the feedback
