Hallo,
I’m choosing my A levels very soon, and I’m torn between Maths and Psychology. I’ve wanted to do Psychology ever since Year 8 (I was and am very interested in it) and was excited to take the A level. I also had a taster session in my school, and I enjoyed it. However, I have been told that universities don’t care for it, and I won’t be chosen for my universities of choice, and be dropped in favour of people who do more “valuable” subjects. I do like Maths, and I’m in the top set at school and get good grades, which means I also take Further Maths for GCSE. But I’m really not sure I like it enough for A level, even though my parents say that it’s the only sensible option.
So I don’t know whether I should go with the subject I personally find more interesting/fun but have never done before and isn’t worth anything on applications, or a subject I am already very good at + can achieve high grades in and is far more respected, but may not enjoy.
