Regretting subject choices in sixth form

I’m in year 12 and I picked Btec Law and Human Biology alongside level 3 criminology. Everyday I regret not picking A-Level phycology and Law as I’ve seen Btecs are looked down upon. At GCSEs I got average grades (5-6) and I’m not looking to go to any top universities. I’m panicking I won’t get into uni as some require a level alongside Btecs and I kick myself everyday. So should I drop out and repeat year 12 or should I stick with my choices and hope I get into uni?

Maybe look at the unis you actually want to go to first and see if they require A levels. Some unis are fine with Btecs.

Yes I’ve emailed uwe and they accept but I’ve heard so many bad reviews. I’m going to email some more soon.
