Yet another AS choices thread - sorry again!

Hi TSR,

Thank you for clicking on here (I know how annoying these threads must be lol)

For my AS choices, I put down English lit, history, French and maths. However, for my GCSE results I got A* in everything but maths and history - in which I got As. Now, I would like to go on to study law, and my school are talking about me as a potential Oxbridge candidate (which I would love to be). Anyway, just to cut to the chase, I am wondering whether or not to take business studies (which I love) instead of maths (which I quite like). I know that universities would prefer maths, but I can't help feeling that I would miss business studies (my teacher says that if I don't do it then it'll be a waste and that I would waltz an A but my maths teacher was also trying to persuade me to do maths).

Final choices tomorrow - any help?

I think you could get away with choosing Business over Maths as your other choices will be liked by the universities as they are 'traditional'. So its personal choice really, I do both subjects and I really like them both.

Thanks for replying - I'm really annoyed because my school isn't letting anyone do 5 subjects :mad:

That sucks- I didn't struggle too much with my 5 at AS, only you have less free periods than other people! :frown:

I'm dropping one now though so all you are missing out on is 1 AS level.

i'd say to just do maths and work hard at it, i'm sure you'll do fine. that's my exact subject combination :yep:

i don't think you can get much better than that for a law degree.

Maths is more 'respected' than Business Studies.

I know

I just can't help thinking that it's a bit snobby to choose a subject for that reason

If you enjoy bussiness studies than take that.
Better you do something you love than something you just like.

If you'd like to be a oxbridge candidate, you wanna go in with a strong solid application. Maths will do that for you, Business Studies perhaps not so much.
Dunno how helpful this link will be to you, but there you go anyway :biggrin:
