A-Level Choice Advice
So far I'm thinking of History, English, Spanish and Geography. I know that none of them are scientific but its not that I feel I'd be unable to do a science or maths, just that I don't enjoy them so much. At the minute I'm hoping to study history at uni so I didn't think I'd really need any scientific ones.
Do you think those 4 would work well with each other in getting into a (top) uni for history? Any course recommendations? Any thoughts or experiences on the 4 I'm thinking of?
Thanks

Yes, they are all respected so should be fine for applying to top universities. English Literature rather than language will be more useful.

I want to do density should I stay at my current school and do english laguage a long with the three science or go to a grammar and do english lit and Lang combined ??
If you want to get into a top uni, then History and English Literature will be most useful to you. Geography is partially science based, and a foreign language is a good choice to round out.
English Language doesn't compare to Literature in the eyes of the Russell Group, so you'd be better off going to a grammar school and doing the two combined.

I definitely do not see myself wanting to study medicine/engineering or anything scientific, so I'm alright with that. I had thought of swapping geography for biology as I do enjoy it, but have heard that its particularly hard and I doubt I'll ever need it (don't want to make it harder than need be).

I don't know, sorry. Lit is usually valued more than Lang but I don't know how compares to Lit and Lang combined. Might have to make your own thread or see who comes along.

I can't do geography or history or a foreign language as I didn't take them for GCSE I regret this very much :/ but yeh I will definitely think about going to the grammar though especially as my course is so competitive !! Thanks for the advice
Geography is classed as a science quite a lot of the time.
It's a good subject I'd recommend it.
I chose it because It was interesting, not because I was good at it. I think I got a B or C at gcse
