Okay so basically I need to submit my options by next Thursday and I was wondering if anyone could like share some light on the subjects I've chosen, even though there's a new GCSE now & we are the first year to use it ugh

These are the options I've chosen:
Art
Religious Studies
German
Computer Science
History
GCSE PE

What do you think? The main route I want to go down is medicine so idk.

I'm a Medical student and if you want to do Medicine you're going to need to pick:

English
Maths
Science (2 or 3 including chemistry - your best bet is Biology and Chemistry)

It's good to have a few subjects that make you look like an 'all rounded' person, so there's no harm in taking say art or history if they're subjects that you enjoy, but you need science for the Medical route for sure.

Oh that's perfect then! So from the GCSEs you listed I'd say take any which 1. you enjoy and 2. you feel that you'll do well in, because obviously applying for medicine is about getting the best grades possible :smile: good luck
