A level choices Help!!!

I’m honestly so torn between a career in finance/econ or med/dent

Will the A level choices- Maths Bio Chem Further maths open up both career choices ? For the top universities aswell etc LSE if I take the finance route( this isn’t considering the supercurriculars and stuff just purely based off subjects).

Currently just putting down a level choices on my sixth form applications hope to not have much variation to my final choices as I’m scared the sixth form I go to won’t have spaces if I switch something like bio to physics if I completely change my mind on medicine/dentistry.

I did hear that Supercurricalrs etc are very very important as long as I have the base subjects like maths STEM etc.

Check if your combination satisfies the entry requirements of degrees that youre aiming for- check a range of requirements for all the pathways your considering just to be safe (uniguide is helpful for this to view course requirements by uni). Generally though this is a good combination to broaden your options in a range of fields including those mentioned.
The other thing to consider is if this combination is right for you personally. Are these subjects which is excel at? Do you enjoy them?
Also, if you decide which field youre aiming for you could always drop a subject. Some sixth forms wont allow you to drop to 3 including further maths so you’d most likely have to drop fm but some sixth forms would let you carry on with double maths and a science (perhaps ask this if you think its a possibility). People often change their options or aims during year 11 or year 12- i applied at the start of year 11 to do double maths, physics and biology with the aim to go into either astrophysics or zoology but over year 11 i decided that i was set on zoology/ecology and so ill end up doing epq not fm alongside my 3 subjects
I hope that helps and feel free to ask me any questions! As i said i do biology and maths so feel free to ask any questions about those 🙂

A-Level Further Maths will get you into LSE, Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, KCL, Durham, Warwick and Edinburgh. So, take it. 🙂
