I chose biology, chemistry and maths a levels in year 12 thinking i wanted to be a vet but i’ve decided since that’s not for me and i want to do mechanical engineering in university because i’m really interested in formula 1. I’ve looked at university courses and a lot of them want physics but the one i really want to go to is bristol which says you need maths and either chemistry or physics so this works for me. However, i don’t know if my chances of getting accepted are low without physics and that they’d chose student with physics over one without so is this a risk? Idk if the fact that i’m a girl might make me more likely to get accepted. Cardiff, Exeter and Swansea would probably be my other options but they are rated much lower for engineering. I had wanted to go to Bath university but physics is a requirement. My teacher told me to consider doing a full physics a level in one year but i think this could be very stressful and cause my other subjects to drop. I got full UMS in my subjects in year 12 so i don’t want to mess that up. What should i do?
