I'm currently a year 11 (UK) student and considering A level subject choices as well as which school to attend.
I currently attend a local comprehensive (Outstanding Rated) but am also considering a grammar school about 50 mins away, which is one of the top 10 rated state schools in the country. I really enjoy the school I currently attend but was also very excited by the prospect of the grammar school on the open day. Any advice for making a decision?
Also, with regard to A levels, I've got a shortlist of 5. History, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Spanish. I plan to study four but am slightly unsure which. There are a few main career/degree paths I'm interested in: medicine (career and degree); law (career and degree); history and Spanish (joint degree although could just study history). I'm definitely considering Oxbridge/Russell Group but that's for later on.
Does anybody have any advice on which to choose. History and Chemistry are essentials for me, but obviously Biology is often required for med degrees. I also don't like the idea of dropping maths. Do note that I enjoy all of these subjects a lot and also am strong at them, this is largely a choice of choosing subjects that allow me to maintain as many paths as possible. For instance Chemistry, Biology, History, Spanish would allow me to do all of the degrees that I'm interested in, but as I say, not sure about dropping maths. Advice around which subjects are necessary for medicine would be appreciated as well.
Thank you.
