are my alevel choices good??😣 (english language, epq, sociology, politics)

Have a good at the spec for both English language and lit to see which appeals to you more. For literature look at the texts you’ll be studying, for example watch some YouTube plot summaries. If you didnt like it at gcse though I wouldn’t suggest taking it. Law doesn’t have required subjects and you already are picking 3 essay subjects which are preferred for law degrees so in that respect you should be fine. Be aware though that from what i know the English language a level is far different from the gcse- make sure you know what it covers!

i’m starting to really worry about the choices i chose for alevels. i chose english language, sociology, politics and epq. my lit and lang skills and quite balanced as i got the same grade for both but enjoyment wise i love language, hence why i picked it over lit!
however i know many universities respect lit way more and im afraid if i do language i wont be able to do law in university, or at least not a good university (eg. top 20 uk uni) which obv is my goal.
my gcse english teacher even advised me to do literature as an alevel but i hated it so much during gcses, i cant even imagine how worse it’d be in alevel, which is why i didn’t pick it. but im really scared now because will it be harder to get offers from university for law since i don’t really have any ‘respected’ or ‘hard’ subjects?? 😣
(many people on here have said i should do lit&lang combined alevel but sadly my school doesn’t offer it as a subject!!💔)

I took sociology, politics and english lit and I got into a russle group but I really don’t think that choosing english lang would have made a difference. I didn’t do epq, but it’s good you have as it will give you more of a chance but at the end of the day you should study the subjects you enjoy and will be more successful in.
Personal statement is also important so I would suggest focusing a lot on that (unless they get cut).
Subject choice isn’t as important as the grades you achieve so do the subjects you enjoy which can hopefully mean you get better grades!!

Those choices sound just fine, all essay-strong. Unis will look at grades so go with what you think will ace those. The EPQ gives you an opportunity to flex some interdisciplinary research muscles, too, which is like giving them a sneak peak at what you might be like as a postgrad candidate, so apart from the UCAS points that’s a potential tie-breaker.

Why on earth would any Uni be using an EPQ to assess anyone's potential for a postgraduate degree.

Unlike most A-levels, an EPQ asks the student to submit a self-defined project requiring independent study and the managing of project milestones. An undergraduate dissertation is a self-defined essay or project requiring independent study and the managing of project milestones. Postgraduate research focusses on a self-defined project requiring...
As I said, ‘sneak peek’.

We do not look for 'postgraduate potential' with any undergraduate application, and no academic looking at a postgraduate application would be remotely interested in what you did at school.
