Computer Science or History?

I am good at both, but I’ve heard that History is more useful when applying for unis.

I’m considering of taking Maths for uni so what should I choose out of the two for GCSE?

Thanks.
If you want to study maths at university I would recommend computer science simply because the two subjects are more closely linked together (in my opinion), and computer science does involve a bit of maths. History is useful if you plan to take more essay-based subjects later on (eg. English, Law, Psychology).
I enjoyed history more as a subject but I found the exams in computer science way easier, plus computer science works well in combination with maths so I'd recommend it over history.

Ok thanks. The uni I’m applying to is KCL and currently they do not consider EBACC in the admission criteria.

But it’s “currently” so I worry that it might change by the time I apply.
