S6 option help

I’m currently an S5 pupil doing higher RMPS, English, Mods, history and photography. I’m interested in doing politics and philosophy at uni and I’m a bit stuck on what to take. I was thinking advanced mods and English and then I can’t decide between higher psychology, politics or higher apps for my other 2 highers. I did N5 apps in S4 but achieved a D grade as maths definitely isn’t my strong suit but I was thinking that I would find apps slightly better as it’s only one paper and I would have an assignment to fall back on. Maths isn’t required for any of the courses but I’m extremely worried that if I don’t do maths again universities won’t be happy with my grade achieved at N5. I was also thinking of doing higher psychology as I haven’t done a science from N5 or higher and feel like it would be more easier to crash higher psychology rather than crash a science as I’m way better at my humanities and social sciences.

probs do higher politics as the course content is very similar to ah mods. also you might want to take apps just in case some unis don't like ur nat 5 grade]
