A2 subject choices help!

I got my AS results this week:

Maths - A
Further Maths - A
Computing - A
Physics - B

Before my results I was either going to drop Physics or nothing.
Because of my results it seems to me that I should drop Physics. But will this put me at a disadvantage? I know loads of universities love Physics and I am aiming for some top unis - Imperial, Bristol etc. Do some top universities view Computing as "soft"? (I'd be surprised if they did - so much work went into getting that A!) Or does it really not matter at all?
Physics was hard for me this year and I think I would definitely get better results in the other three if I dropped it.

I'm applying to study computer science or, at some universities, computer science and mathematics (joint).

Advice please? :smile:

Computing and maths are definitely more important for the course you want to do and you are more likely to get the top grades in A2 if you stick with your A grades. It's true, Physics is liked by unis but so are Maths and Further Maths (not sure about Computing but it seems important for your course). I hope this helps you :smile:
