Hey, I have a huge passion for psychology and it is what I plan on doing as a career but I want some advice about If the A-Levels I plan on picking are appropriate and will see me in good stead for the future....

I plan on taking; Psychology, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry

At GCSE I am predicted to get A* in Mathematics, A in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, History, Religious Studies and Citizenship, C in English Literature and C in English Language I also have a certificate in ICT at A grade (equivalent to 3 A's) and I also have a BTEC sport Level 2 diploma at A* (equivalent to 4 A*'s)

My dream is to go onto a top level uni and study psychology at undergraduate and post-graduate level.... does it look achievable and/or any advice

(I also got accepted into one of the King Edward Sixth forms, but sadly due to distance I am unable to go)

Thank you

Your A-levels are great. Your GCSEs are also very competitive except the English. The Lit will probably not matter but you need to try and pull up the Lang to a B. Why are they so much lower? Do you have a bad teacher?
Apart from that small though important aspect, if you are successful in college your academic profile is very good.

I don't know, I seem to struggle a bit in English largely because of my handwriting I think I have also only done the foundation course so I have to hope my coursework may have bumped it up to a B

Thank you for your advice/opinion

Your A Level choices are good, solid subjects, which compliment psychology well. I might have considered an English-type subject to compliment it but if you're taking foundation GCSE it's probably a good idea to stick with the subjects you're enjoying and are excelling in. As long as you enjoy the subjects you're doing and work hard for the grades, I'm sure you'll be able to study psychology at university and beyond.

Good luck.
