Hi everyone,
Just looking for some advice on a dilemma I'm facing.
For context, I have an offer from LSE for Psychological and Behavioural Science, this is a course I think I will enjoy. I was rejected from Oxford post-interview for EP. LSE and Oxford are my absolute dream unis, it's hard for me to imagine myself going anywhere else.
Almost as soon as I sent in my application for Psychology to UCAS, I started questioning my choice. Up until July last year, I was contemplating between doing English or Psychology, and I ended up choosing the latter. Although I think I would get a lot out of the PBS course at LSE, there is a part of me that is still thinking about English - I've loved writing since I was little and English has always been my favourite subject. I picked Psychology partly because I lost my confidence after GCSEs, achieving a 6 in English Lit after taking the exam with tonsillitis. Although, since then, I have been achieving consistent As and A*s, often scoring the highest in my class.
I also feel like English aligns more with my career goals, I would love to go into writing as a career but can't think of what I would like to do with a Psychology degree (I think the subject interests me more than the career outcomes).
So, the question is, should I take up the offer from LSE, and do a well-respected course that I know I will enjoy? Or, should I reapply to Oxford for English and risk not getting in and doing English at a university which I don't necessarily want to go to?
I would appreciate any ideas or advice. Thanks!
