I apologize if this thread is under the wrong subheading; I am new to TSR and am unsure how to use it fully .
I really dislike the A Levels I have chosen and have realized this after talking about Universities. Before I started sixth form, I always wanted to do science-based subjects at sixth form (Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths). However, I only got C's in these subjects at GCSE, and got A's and B's in most of my other subjects (History, RS, English Lit, English Language etc). At the sixth form I currently go to (a different school to which I studied my GCSES), I study English, History and RS. I chose this in the heat of the moment on GCSE results day, when I went back to the sixth form I planned to go to. They accepted me on a conditional offer, however I applied to do Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. So, when I went back there on results day, I had to change my options or go to my original school that I studied my GCSEs at (who accepted Cs in these subjects, therefore accepted me at their sixth form). The sixth form I go to now wanted B's and A's from me at GCSE in these subjects (the sixth form is a grammar school). Because I did not achieve these grades, I decided to change my A Level courses.
I really regret this now, because all my life I have wanted a career to do with Science (in Medicine, Pharmacy, maybe even Astrophysics). But I didn't do that well in them at GCSE and decided to do what I thought would be easiest for me at A Level. However, although I did good in them at GCSE, I really dislike learning about these subjects and do not plan to study anything to do with them at Uni, because I simply do not like them.
I have found out about courses (such as Medicine and Astrophysics) that do not require specific A Levels because they include a "foundation" year where they educate you what you need to know before you start. I have considered doing this, but I have also considered dropping out of my current sixth form and returning to my old school to study these science-based subjects.
Will I find these subjects too hard? I am just unsure what to do as I really do not like sixth form at the moment. I know I have left it quite late but I thought I would give it some time to see if I could settle into these essay-based subjects. Shall I stick it out 'til the summer and see how I do in these subjects at AS, or shall I just drop out already and start my science subjects at my old school?
Thanks in advance!
