Check out the unis you may be interested in. Some don't like what they perceive to be "soft" subjects such as Business Studies/ICT etc. I'm not saying theyre soft, just some unis don't like them. I did Sociology and loved it. Lots of essay writing but interesting. Can't compare it to Anthropology as didn't do that.

Think you need to do a bit more research into what you're interested in and where.

Not necessary. You'll be able to do it quite easily without. :smile:

Yeah I'd say C, definitely. It's just the best combination :smile:
Set C just because of english lit/lang and has anthropology+business which is what you said you wanted to do at uni.

Guess its ok. But its a weaker choice than C

Strength of A-levels sets imo:
C>B>A>D
