Yes, those are all good A-levels. Ideally you want Eng Lit not Eng Lit and Lang though

I'm confused, are you in year 11 right now?
If you have your heart set on Eng Lit and Lang, then by all means go for it. Eng Lit is more well regarded but you can still get into any university with Eng Lit and Lang.

Ok so final question, would that fact that I had English language and literature over literature actually hinder my application, or would it just be seen as irrelevant, and just preferred?
