What are you all going to do at a-level?

Computer science, maths, further, and economics for me

I hope we can switch around for the first couple of weeks though


I told them Biology, Chemistry and History. I think I'm only going to do 3 as I don't want to add extra stress to myself.

What A Levels did you apply for?


Originally, I had chose Biology, Chemistry and Maths but, at the interview the interviewer said that i should do history as well but tbh I don't think I can handle the stress of 4 A levels but honestly i can just decide at a later date.

Yeah at first I only wanted to do 3 but the interviewer seemed pretty keen on me doing 4. I think I can handle it but we can mess around with our choices later so idrm


Yeah that sounds about right. I think the first few days is just sorting A levels out and getting our timetables sorted. So yeah plenty of time to choose, my main worry is GCSE's. A level choices can come later.:smile:

I will have to travel quite a long way everyday because I live in Bradford that's another stressful thing. Do any of you have any suggestions on the commute?

I live on the other side of Dewsbury near Middletown and I will get a lift to Dewsbury train station and then an 8 minute train to Huddersfield. It's then a 10 minute walk from the train station to the college.
I'll be taking maths, biology, chemistry & psychology. I thought about taking physics but you don't need it for a career medicine, unless you want to be an optician etc.

So what career paths are you all considering?

You got me thinking actually. Did anyone else get a yellow sheet with some duke of Edinburgh award info when you got your offer letters. Does anyone actually know what it is?.

To apply for DofE I suppose? I'm might do it or I might not because I've already done World Challenge. How many people from your school get? Quite a few did from ours compared to last year.

I think it was just me and my friend that got into greenhead but she isn't taking the place so it's just me 😂😂😂
Original post by habeeb_00
I did, yeah. It's just to do the DoE gold award with school instead of like Scouts or something like people usually do - it's supposed to look good on a CV and build some skills like teamwork. I'm probably going to do it, wby?

There's a few people going from my school, like fifteen, twenty I think?


Only 5 got in last year at my school and like 15-20 people got in this year. I wonder why the number fluctuate?
