Oh guys btw what do you think I should do for my fifth AS? I have already decided on maths, biology and chemistry, and general studies is conpulsary right up to a2 ( :frown:

) and its between either RS or Geography. I will probably drop it so leaning more to geography as It comes more naturally so hopefully will do better but In RS you have the ethics side which links to medicine but nothing really in geography does? What do you think?

You really don't need to do five. Oh, wait, sorry, I didn't see General Studies. Eew. I'd say Geography if you prefer it. Plus, it's more respected.

Is anyone on here looking to do arts or humanities? Or are you all sciency people lol

Meee! I'll be applying for English Lit. or Creative writing when I go to uni, though there is also a possibility that I take up Biology/Pshycology/Behavioural sciences if it can be done (yeah, this shows just how indecisive I am), chances of me taking a pass on English literature are almost none though. :tongue:

That's bloody awesome - congrats! :awesome:

Meh, just do what you enjoy, as cheesy as it sounds. :tongue:

Thanks

I'm surprised schools don't say to do what you enjoy more often, they say do employable things but really there's need for everything. And then they scratch their heads when everyone is moaning and getting stressed... :facepalm:

Huzzah! High five! (there needs to be a high five emoticon)

It just so happens that my boyfriend's sister does psychology at Bangor and his mum's doing a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies with the OU (I think - not sure entirely). She's a teacher and is interested in child psychology, especially things to do with learning disabilities like autism which affects their family quite a lot. So lots of psychology over here lol. I don't know what I'm going to do but I'm taking it one step at a time and choosing stuff I enjoy :ahee:

If you like them both equally then you should take both. Have you considered a science? It sounds like Biology would suit you.

noo waay i understand there is some science involved in psycholology but me and science arent friends... although biology is my strongest out of the 3

Haha, I too, am into lots of Psychology stuff and I like it but I've always been interested in English Lit./Creative Writing.The advisors in our school are always on about how ''you'll do great if you choose Medicine/Psycology/ Neuroscience!'', that's okay and all, I'm good at it but that doesn't mean can force me into not taking what I'm interested in >_>

Indeed, I hope you choose whatever you love doing! They say it's quite a burden when you're doing something and not passionate about it

Of you don't want to do general studies, you could talk to your head of year maybe about it later on

But I guess it's free ucas points 😂 not that any universities for medicine like it

Really? I have never known anyone personally who has done it as I just found it online one day so completly on my own on this one ☺️

She said it was really good, she went to India for two weeks but they stopped doing placements in India 😢

Would you do volunteering while there too? Which location would you want to go to?

Btw I think they change their locations every so often from the looks of it

I like the look of Psychology and stuff too but it's not what I want to do. To be honest I like the look of most things lol

Creative writing is pretty good too. You can make it whatever you want it to be :smile:

And yeah, we're choosing options in January - everyone else is stressing about what unis will like but I'm just doing what I enjoy :cool:

How much work experience have you done so far?

This summer I really need to arrange more - my dentist said I could come in on Tuesdays (later finishes) so hopefully I'll give him an email/phone call and see what happens - they're all really nice so hopefully it'll be fine if I could do it for awhile :smile:

I guess medicine could be a bit harder to arrange work experience? Not too sure with GPs etc

Me! I can't stand Maths and Science :colondollar:

What A Levels are you planning on doing? I'm definitely going to do English Lit, Psychology and Sociology; however I'm trying to decide between R.S, Spanish, Politics and History for my fourth one and I really don't know which one to choose!

Posted from TSR Mobile

Advertising your blog is not allowed?

I never knew this - so for example I'm not allowed to link to a post in my blog to start a thread just like some put in links to news articles?

I'm still not sure but most likely, I might just stay in my school's sixth form. Cause the only reason why I chose one of my choices forces me to take all BTECs and my other choice is a bit too far.

What about you?
