Hi I'm starting Year 10 in a week and I wish to make a change in my GCSE subject choice. Currently I have chosen History because I love it and I'm pretty good at it. However, I'm aiming for a Material Science course in the university so I don't think History would be beneficial for my future career.
Computer Science is a subject I can replace with and I think it will be more useful in the future (its syllabus is also very appealing to me) but it is the first year my school offer it. Furthermore, according to the statistics, my school (which I think is pretty decent as it is normally on the top 10 or 20 of the league tables) has a pretty mediocre ICT (which they no longer offer this year) result compared to other subjects. This makes me lose confidence in my school's computer and ICT department (I'm not sure whether they share teachers or not).
Could you guys give me an opinion about this? Should I take the risk or not? And sorry about the language as English isn't my first language. Thanks
