I'm doing reformed AS in three subjects, while nobody else in my year group is. I'm mainly doing AS Levels because I might drop Further maths in year 13, and I'm doing biology and chemistry AS because I want to do well in them and support an application to Cambridge. I'm aiming to score very highly in them (high raw marks).
But it turns out that nobody else in my year group is doing AS levels, I'm the only one. If I apply to Cambridge, will they see this suspiciously? Will they wonder why I am the only one from my school who did AS, and will this disadvantage me? (usually 8ish people apply to Cambridge every year). I'm a little concerned they'll think "hang on, why did nobody else at his school sit AS? Was he planning to drop out at the end of year 12?". I've heard they look quite in depth at everything, contextually, including information about the school you go to.
I'm working hard constantly towards them and I don't think there will be any issue with me doing well on them. I'm hoping for at least 80% raw marks.
I'm aiming for natural sciences, and I'm doing maths, further maths, biology and chemistry.
