Thank you again, I don't have any specific unis in mind, but yes in the US or UK, and there no such specific requirements mentioned, also where are you from and which grade. Thanks for helping

Since you haven't actually started the courses yet, I would recommend keeping computer science for around a month to see if it is really something that you are interested in. However, if you don't enjoy it, your school should allow you to drop it and take business studies instead. Most schools will allow you a grace period to try out and change your subjects and it's wise to make your final decision before December of year 12 so you wouldn't have missed out on too much. Don't panic, you're not in any trouble.

following on, check with the skl if they can do this. business may end up clashing with ur other subjects and u will be stuck. moving sixth forms isnt ideal. ask for the blocks each subject is in and go to a sixth form where u have this flexibility

Thank you so much for replying. I had Computer science in my IGCSE level and I scored quite good marks, I know what both subjects offer, but which is a better for the unis, eventually I want to do a business, economics, math side degree but if I am not wrong, you don't require BS in A levels to pursue a business degree as many science students also are admitted, Will CS give me a upper hand or not, BS is a subject I can do alone, but for CS I'll need tutions, thats not an issue but. I have to decide right now, I don't have a month that's the reason I am panicking, really confused

based on what u said earlier i dont think sixth form applies to u.

if ur looking to impress uni thru science, physics would be ur best bet. a lot of the skills handling numerical data transfer well. also science students being admitted is not only due to them having taken science. science students r already very smart so will get in one way or another. u dont need to take science as its not a hard requirement for business. pick subjects u will get the best grades in.

also if i can do further maths that would be the ultimate key to impress them. but if u get bad grades in it theres no point.

I didn't do the sciences in my IGCSE levels, so taking that wouldn't be possible now, talking about further maths, my school doesn't offer that. I am stuck between picking CS or BS, 😞, this thing is troubling me a lot.
