I feel like I've made a huge mistake with my subjects... redoing A Levels?

If you want to skip the faff I get to the point at the end x

Somewhere between attempting to find a course I'm passionate about and going in circles with it, I had the revelation that I am not interested in any of my A Level subjects and can't apply to any courses that actually interest me because of subject restriction.

I'm in year 13, done with applications and have already gotten my first offer. I take four humanities, but it's become clear to me over the past two years that it's the sciences and maths I find fascinating. During my GCSEs I had some pretty severe mental health issues and as a result didn't really focus on school, so my teachers dismissed me as dumb and I thought I couldn't do those subjects. The humanities are naturally, much easier to ******** last minute in exams so I selected all those subjects.

I've also been really uninspired for the past couple of years, but now that my health is in better shape I'm starting to see a future for myself and the current path I'm headed down just doesn't make me tick. I see evolvements in STEM or doctors in action and I'm just so amazed and inspired by what they do, and recently I realised that I feel A Levels are a bit too young to start giving up on potential dreams.

I'm considering sitting my four humanities at the end of this year, hopefully getting A*s/As, then taking a year out to do maths and a science and then reapplying to university for a subject that interests me. Under the influence of a deadbeat group of friends I always considered Oxbridge a flowery elitist institute, but now I realise how deluded I was and would be honoured to attend. I fear my GCSEs will hold me back (8As, 3Bs (not to sound arrogant but I know I could have gotten mostly A*s, not that it makes a difference to them)).

I guess I just wanted to air this opinion out. Has anyone redone A Levels? Done A Levels in a year? Taken a year to reapply? Regretted their subject choice? Changed their degree course? Any opinions on my prospective plan?

Any responses would be appreciated! x

I feel exactly the same way about my A-level choices, i'm year 13 as well and just sent my application off two weeks ago. I study Maths, Economics and Computer Science. I Really enjoy maths and economics with high hopes of achieving good grades this year, i just dont like computer science. I have no experience in coding or programming and have no interest in the subject. It has literally given me so much stress that I had a severe asthma attack on boxing day i had to go to the hospital. I just want to drop it and do another a-level next year, because the amount of stress just one subject has on me and my health is not good at all. I even applied to study maths and economics at uni...and computer science has no relevance to the course i want to study.
