Currently taking FM, Physics and History looking to study theoretical physics at Sheffield. I feel like the history will give me an edge in writing essays for reports, exams, etc...

Bio, chem, maths and politics!
I want to do biotech - imperial is my first choice
Thinking of doing pharmacology, immunology or biomed at Oxford, kcl, UCL, Edinburgh if not my first choice.


I constantly get asked why I took politics because it's got nothing to do with the iconic med trio - i was really good at English lit and history but hated the a level course. I wanted to be educated in our own political system as well. And thus - politics. Wouldn't change it for anything.

1) AQA Geography, EDUQAS Geology and AQA Computer Science
2) Foundation in Humanities, going onto Law.
3) Cambridge.
4) Geology is S-Tier subject (my college is one of the few which do it - that isn't private/needs money to be in). It's what you wish physical Geography could be, although its difficult at times and cross-sections are tricksy at times. I don't want to study in professionally (I am, by nature, not a STEM person), but it's nice looking at ammonites and stuff like that.

Geography is tedious but it will help with essays and that. Computer Science coursework sounds really interesting can't wait to go onto that soon.
