Hi
For my GCSEs, I got the following results:
Maths - A*
English Language - A
English Literature - A
Physics - A*
Chemistry - A*
Biology - A* (full UMS marks!!!)
French - A*
Spanish - A*
Chinese - A* (only non-native pupil to take the exam - i was so proud of this result!!!)
Drama - A
Geography - A*
During years 10 and 11, I also took Maths A level, gaining the coveted A* grade - I got 90 UMS or over in every module except M1 in which i got 89 UMS and just scraped the A* with 90 UMS in C4. All with no retakes
For my A levels, I have decided to do: French, Spanish, Physics and Chemistry (not because they're traditional "hard" subjects but beacuse they are the ones which I enjoy the most). I will only do Chemistry up to AS and then join the Further Maths class in year 13 (as I've already done the year 12 course which is the whole Maths A level in 1 year). I will probably drop French in year 13 although I have not decided yet and may continue with all 4 subjects (although I find this unlikely).
Please note, we do A2 further maths at my school, not just AS.
This will hopefully leave me with A Levels in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Spanish, French (possibly or AS at least) and an AS in Chemistry. We are also required at my school to sit the General Studies exam for AS, which will give me another AS but I don't really want to do the exam and will see if I can opt out.
My school also offers what it calls "enrichment courses" on the side of A levels. One of these is Italian GCSE, which I have decided to study over the next 2 years to gain an extra GCSE.
Given that I've been predicted the following grades for my sixth form options, what would you recommend I study at university:
Further Maths - not given an offical prediction yet but should be an A
Physics - A
French - A
Spanish - A
Chemistry - A
Italian GCSE - A*
All these predictions are for AS (except Italian GCSE) and I believe I could get at least one more A* at A2 in addition to my Maths A2.
In addition to all above, I am also doing an hour a week of Chinese at my school. I wanted to do the AS level but the school would not fund the class as I was the only person interested but I am still hoping to improve my Mandarin as I find it very interesting and the school is allowing me to do an hour a week during one of my free periods.
With all this, what course could I do at university??
I'm very interested in Maths and possibly Economics as I am very interested in how money works but this is not offered at A level at my school - would this be a disadvantage?
I would also be very interested in studying "exotic" languages: Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese
And, of course, I would love to study at a prestigious university (Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick)
What would you suggest?
Many thanks in advance, Connor
