spanish, physics, or economics a level??

hi so basically i an in y11 and i'm quite certain that i want to do finance and possibly econ ar uni/job. i rlly want to go to LSE or Warwick and do a course like MORSE or actuarial science.

i picked maths, fm, physics, and economics but idk if i shld change something to spanish. i def am going to do fm it's js the other ones.

i got 9s in physics spanish and geography in my mocks, and i love spanish and physics more than econ . idk which 2 out of the 3 to take bc:
-physics shows strong maths skills, i enjoy it, only thing is ik it is very hard but i am doing fm too, so idk
-economics is kinda linked to what i wanna do in uni
-spanish i just enjoy a lot probably my fave but i am not a native speaker

idk which to take since i rlly enjoy some andni want to get good grades but i want to know which will be the best subject combination for unis- will spanish disadvantage me over econ or physics? thanksss

Hey my advice is to check the subject requirment for the specific courses you want to take at that uni. However from what ive seen in finance courses the only subject requirement is Maths which you are taking.

My opinion is that you should take the subject you enjoy. A - levels are already hard and you dont want the regret of choosing a new subject that u find boring. If maths is the only requirement then the other two subjects shouldnt really matter as long as you get a good grade. So i dont think taking spanish is anything bad !!! and knowing another language is really good to put in your cv !

100% choose spanish. variety is important and there’s no loss of merit in doing a language, which is in fact one of the hardest things to do, a lot harder than maths, for some people. so if you can pursue both that’s a great plan.

If spanish is your favourite then pick it, A levels are tough so having something you enjoy is really helpful + spanish stands out on applications. If you want to show maths skills but you're already doing maths and further maths I'd say physics isn't massively necessary on top of that.
Finally I know so many people who say they regret not taking a language or learning one young, so if you've got the opportunity to do it take it
