What A-levels did you take? And what degree do you hope to study?

Aren't Geography and Psychology the two most employable degrees?
Anyway:

English Literature
Economics
History
Politics

I'm thinking of doing law, I wanted to do something like PPE but I haven't done Maths so I don't think that will be possible :frown:

(Mainly posting to see how whatever-his-name-is reacts to this, as I wholly respect and highly regard his opinion.)

If I may respond on his behalf:

You haven't chosen exactly the same subjects as me therefore I'm going to demonstrate my supreme naivity by:

* Saying you're stupid
* Claiming that I am academically superior to you even though I have in no way achieved anything that might support such a statement
* Informing you that you have no future because you have no prospects in your career choice
* Calling you a loser
* Suggesting that I will be infinitely more successful than you, despite not having actually been accepted into University myself yet

Very similar to mine!

I originally chose:
History
Government and Politics
French
Maths

but then (stupidly) decided that I'd take Latin, since I'm good at it. So I'm currently studying:

History
Latin
French
Maths

as my main ASs, with Psychology, EPQ and GCSE Italian on the side.

Don't take Latin. It's difficult, it's mountains of work and I wish I was better at it. However, everyone else in my class loves it.

I'm hoping to study French and History/ French and Italian at uni.

I am afraid you cannot put me off. I want to do a language for a level and it is either German or Latin, and I HATE GERMAN!!!! I also love Latin so I am definitely doing it for a level :smile:

You can go on to do postgrad medicine, but it's not something I'd want to do. It's a bioscience/life science, so it'd be similar as far as career prospects go to taking a biology or zoology or genetics etc etc etc degree (except, in my opinion, more interesting :tongue:

That's fine, it's always nice to have someone interested! :smile:

The unis I've applied to ask for two from Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Some unis definitely want Biology or Chemistry. Grade requirements are generally AAA-ABB. Two of my offers are AAB, one is ABB/AAC and another is BBB. :smile:

Thank you for the luck!
