Which A Levels should I do?

As you probably know, GCSE results day is tomorrow, and I need to confirm my options. I realise asking on an online forum isn't the best way to decide what to study, but I've exhausted all other sources of advice and still haven't got a clue. I'm definitely taking maths, (maybe + further maths, depending on tomorrow's results) and religious studies, and I have to pick two more out of biology, chemistry, physics and English.

At university I'm considering doing Psychology and Philosophy, because that's something that really interests me, or Computer Programming - it sounds fun, but I didn't do computing GCSE, so I can't say for certain whether I'll like it. Architecture, Philosophy, Medicine and Engineering are all also on the table (you can tell I'm kinda very indecisive).

I think (or at least hope) I'll have the grades to do any of the listed subjects, but I did struggle with doing well on biology tests, because you know how strict the markschemes are. Physics was also slightly difficult. This is why I'm considering doing English Lit with Chemistry, as they were definitely my best subjects at GCSE, but I feel like that combination is a bit useless; it's better to do two sciences if I want to study a science degree, and dropping both biology and physics won't be good for university applications in my desired courses. On the other hand, if I only do one of biology or physics in combination with English, I run the risk of not doing so well. But doing biology+chemistry or physics+chemistry seems like it'll be really really difficult, so that also may impact my results.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks for reading through all that.

Psychology and English could be good. I did both with RS and they combined super well.

Psychology is obviously something you seem interested in so I think it would be good, and English is good for boosting essay

Thanks for the reply! I'd actually love to so psychology a level, but sadly my school doesn't offer it. English with RS does sound good, but I'm not sure what degree I'd go on to do..

Ohh crap no way! Well, even so, philosophy is like the father of psychology, so RS would be good if you want to go into psychology at university. I found the two often overlapped, for example the free-will debate or figures like Kohlberg.

Like I say, English provides transferable skills more than anything. It could also be good to have an understanding of different texts that may have had an influence on the world and different areas of life (notice how so many people reference Nineteen Eighty-Four... and how many misunderstand it).

They might mean you can't do something like medicine, but there are definitely future options there.

That's a good idea, I think I might do English after all
What would you recommend as a fourth A Level option then, to keep my options open? Out of the sciences I mean, because a science is needed for basically everything I'm considering.

I'm not too clued up on the sciences sorry. Idk about your school but ours counts further maths as a 4th, which I know you said you're considering. Maths and physics go hand in hand if you'd want to go down that route. Biology is more related to psychology but you said you don't enjoy it as much I think. Chemistry is tough and you have to be passionate about it to get the top grades I believe; our GCSE teacher actively discouraged people from doing it if she thought there was any parental pressure or anything like that. She also made the point that you shouldn't really go into the A-Level with the thought you'll struggle through it and then get into a subject or job that requires it, because if it requires it yet you don't like the subject, it doesn't make that much sense.

What are you thinking of doing anyway?

I really wish I knew what I wanted to do
But I applied to Sixth Form with Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Art, so that's what I'm doing at the moment (definitely going to change at least art tomorrow!). What did you do at university?

I just mean if you have a few options for a university/apprenticeship/career then you can check requirements online (check a few different places as the same course may have different requirements at different establishments).

I actually just got my A-Level results yesterday. Made a video out of it lmao. My offer at uni is for English but I've been trying to switch to psychology which was always my original plan.
