I am currently a year 13 student studying Maths, FM, Chemistry, Economics predicted 4A*s. I am considering defering/taking a gap year if I don't get into my first or second choice university (maths applicant), mainly because of covid.
In my gap year I am planning on taking A level physics as I think it'll help my application for the following year and I regret not taking it initially as I do really enjoy the subject. However, I am also considering taking computer science A level in the same year because I've recently developed an interest and thought that since I am doing 4 A levels in 2 years, it would be plausible for me to do 2 in one year? This being said, I did not do computer science GCSE so I would have to start from scratch (no pun intended).
Would taking 2 A levels be too stressful for me to do within a year? I also want to keep up my maths too of course since that is what I am applying for.
Hopefully I do get into the university that I want and this is more of a plan B, but I could very easily not and I want to make sure I have a plan if this is the case.
