    Hi guys! Jumping on the bandwagon around here...

    Hopefully, I'll be taking -

    Geography, chemistry, maths, further maths (dear lord!) and anthropology - a new A Level my school is offering as of September 2013!

    However I'm also considering physics and possibly business studies... Also I'm hoping to vary my reading and consider English lit... Bit weird, I know, what with all the sciences! I don't really want to do further maths but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to take to put myself at an advantage for studying chemistry! :P

    Government & Politics, economics, maths and physics. Plan to drop government and politics after AS though because of the poor career prospects.

    I am doing Physics, Technology, Maths, German (being half-German ) and an EPQ for my A levels at my current school Lancaster Royal Grammar School (Requires 7 B's). I aspire to be a aeronautical engineer and my current choices of English Uni's I might do are Leicester, Imperial or Loveborough. However I might also go to Uni in Germany since I can speak fluent German where the Uni's are also renowned internationally and its free or dirt-cheap.

    I'd do French - it's always good to have a foreign language!
