Dropping my fourth subject

I’m in year 13 and I do maths, further maths, physics and computer science. I did maths a year early and got an A*. I am going to drop computer science, but would I look bad in my application as technically I am doing 2 alevels in year 13 as I have already completed maths but I am doing all of further maths in one year. Would it still be fine to drop computer science or would top unis not like it.

This wouldn't be a full-time study-load so has your school actually agreed to you dropping to 2 A levels. And, which degree subject might you apply for?

Why wouldn’t it be a full time study load? I would be doing the same amount of class hours as a student taking 3 alevels

If you are only taking FM and Physics in Year 13, that is not a 3 A level study-load for that year.
Some 'top' Unis do have a problem with all 3 A levels not being taken in the 'same sitting' - ie. in different exam years - so you do need to check this with your likely Unis before you drop the other subject.

How big of a problem do they find it, if I’m predicted A* in further maths, A* in physics and already achieved A* in maths and I also have a really good personal statement and do well in interviews and admissions test. Would be doing 2 alevels this year affect my application so much that there is no chance I get an offer to unis like Oxford or imperial

You need to check on their websites or email them.
Each Uni is different, and has different policies. It isnt a case of 'if I have top predicted grades etc will they make an exception' - if they want 3 A levels studied together as evidence of your ability to cope with degree study, that is what they want from all applicants.

It's a problem for some unis. I believe Oxford and Cambridge specifically state they expect applicants to be taking at least 3 A-levels in a single exam session within the two year period.

I checked Oxford FAQ and this was one of them: took the full Maths A-level in Year 12, rather than AS Maths and Further Maths, is this okay?
Yes, we have no problem with students taking the full Maths A-level in Year 12 and will count the A* achieved as going towards
your conditional offer. We would then make you an offer based on you taking Further Maths in Year 13 (as a full A-level) and one other A-level.

Which course is that for?
It might be certain courses at Oxford (and maybe Cambridge) may have less of an issue
If you've checked and the unis accept it then you have nothing to worry about

This was for maths, I’m doing physics so maybe it will be similar in not sure

Ah, I'd strongly recommend checking with the physics admissions tutors there then. They may have a different approach!

Do they have an email or something, how would I find out?
