s3 or m3?

i want to study maths in university which one should i do.
i have finished fp1 and doing m1 and s1
i am planning to do these modules
fp1-fp3
m1-m2 s1-s2
but not sure whether to do s3 or m3.
i enjoy doing both stats and mechanics
I did maths at uni (with Computer Science), I saw hardly anything that made me think "I should've taken M3" - if you're applying for Engineering, they'll want to see mechanics modules in your Maths A-Level. You're more likely to come across statistics-based modules in a maths uni course imo

Perhaps it may be worth studying D1? I don't know how it compares to M3, but for Edexcel D1 is a lot easier than S3. S3 has been somewhat useful for my Maths degree so far (S4 has also been quite important, as have FP3, S2 and M2), but of course courses vary from university to university.

M3 is amazing.
