Straight to the point; I like both history and biology/chemistry, and was initially going to apply for...
Durham (5th) Biological Sciences AAA
York (7th) Biochemistry AAB
Manchester (10th) Chemistry ABB
Sheffield (12th) Chemistry ABB
Nottingham (14th) Chemistry ABB
(Brackets indicating the position of the university in the subject's league tables)
but now I'm having second thoughts about whether or not I'll regret doing History- in all honesty I enjoy it more and am more interested in it. However, sciences are easier to get into at university and there is less competition (also, it's not like I don't enjoy them at all.)
If I chose to study history my choices would be...
Durham (2nd) Ancient and Modern Hist. AAA
Warwick (6th) History AAA
York (13th) History AAA
Exeter (8th) History AAB
Nottingham (14th) German Cultural Studies & Hist. ABB
(Brackets indicating the position of the university in the subject's league tables)
GCSES; 1 A*, 5 As, 5 Bs and 2 Cs.
My AS levels are; History A, German A, Biology B, Chemistry B.
My predicted grades for this year are; History A*, Biology A, Chemistry A.
So my questions; 1. Are these realistic targets for me? Will I get offers? and 2; Should I do history or chemistry? considering enjoyment, career prospects, prestige of university etc. It seems like there is more room for error when applying to chemistry as it's easier to get into..
All feedback appreciated.
