A-level Chemistry/Art/Economics for engineering?

Hi! I want to do engineering at university - I think mechanical. I'm definitely doing Maths, Further Maths, and Physics a levels but I'm not sure about the last one.
on the Cambridge website it says 62% of people to Chemistry, and I quite like Chemistry I guess and I find gcse very easy (probably easiest) and I'm quite sure I will do well. I heard that A level is really really hard though, so I'm not sure about that. also I don't know if Maths, further maths, physics and chemistry is unattractive to universities... I think doing chemistry would also let me think about other parts of engineering or help with mechanical engineering.
I quite like art as well and I'm doing well with gcse, and my art teacher said I should do it, but it's quite time consuming and I don't want it to cause my other subjects to have lower grades. I think art would help with design and creative thinking for engineering and it might make me look for interesting.
my school doesn't do economics a level and I also don't do geography gcse, but I'm quite interested in business at some point, though I heard engineering can let you switch to any degree. my school doesn't do business a level. I heard economics is relatively easy though.
it's just that I heard chemistry is hard, art might take up too much time, and economics is just also another option.
Thank you!!

Is there any particular reason why you want or need to do 4 A-levels?
Doing just Physics, Maths and FM should be fine, you don’t need to do a 4th A-level. The only university that I’ve commonly heard of (anecdotally) giving 4 A-level offers in Imperial.

Thanks for your reply! Most people at my school do 4 a levels I think, but also I feel like a fourth one would probably help, I’m just not sure which subject it should be…

There's usually little to no advantage to doing 4 A-levels over 3. What A-level would enjoy doing the most? Have checked the entry requirements of other universities that you're interested in?
I can't see how Maths, further maths, physics and chemistry would be unattractive to universities
@Smack might also be able to give better advice.

I didn't do A-levels but my understanding is that there is no advantage in doing four of them. But if you absolutely have to do four of them, chemistry will be the most useful.

Oh thank you! I was just thinking that they’d all be similar subjects and perhaps wouldn’t seem very interesting…

You might find that chemistry isn’t interesting to you personally, but I can’t see how universities would find the combination to be an issue.

I know a lot of people who do further maths as a fourth A-Level - most of them say it was useful for STEM courses at uni. However some competitive universities don’t accept further maths as one of three A-Levels - they only want it as a fourth.

I take four, in my honest opinion drop the 4th if you need to but be aware your 4th choice you gotta love else you're gonna drop it eventually. I'm not going into engineering myself, but my school's absolutely full of prospective students, and they all pretty much take chemistry. So I guess I would recommend that. Hope this helps!
