Bad A Level combo?

Is my potential A Level combo bad? I’m in year 11 so this is obviously not set in stone and is incredibly susceptible to change but I was considering doing Biology, Chemistry and English Literature.
I’m considering Biology as I’m incredibly interested in human biology, chemistry as a lot of Biology related degrees often seem to want chemistry (and if I want to go into medicine) and English Literature as I have always loved English throughout my entire life.
My issue with my combo is that I am taking combined science (even though it’s the subject I’m doing best in (my current performance is 99)) and I’m scared this will put me at a disadvantage. I am also worried that English Literature instead of another STEM subject may limit my options in future somehow but I think I’d be devastated if I didn’t pursue it as I’ve loved English (creative writing and literature analysis included) from a very young age.

I don’t think combined science will disadvantage you. I felt similarly when picking Sociology because many people who picked it had done it at GCSE unlike myself, but I’ve done very well considering I had no previous background in the subject at all. You have a solid basis as a combined higher student. As for picking three STEM subjects, I think what really matters is if you could get into the uni course you wanted with just biology and chemistry. Checking the requirements is important. Many people would pick maths with bio and chem but if the uni doesn’t require it then literature should be fine. As a lit student myself, I am very grateful that I picked it. It might be one of my favourite A-levels and I have no regrets.

Thank you so much, that’s really helpful! What’s your favourite part about being an A level lit student if you don’t mind me asking?

hi, i'm in upper sixth at a very high performing grammar school and i took biology, physics and maths. i previously attended a not so great state school and i took combined science and achieved a 77, i am the only person in my class that took combined. so far i haven't felt like i've been at a disadvantage at all. i can't speak for chemistry but for biology specifically, the course is detailed and content heavy that even though you miss some parts of content that other people may have done in triple science, it's all new information for everyone so it really won't affect you as much as you think. you just need to make sure you keep up with the work and you'll be okay.
as well as this, my sixth form ran extra tutoring for people that took combined science (for some reason i was never asked to attend these and i'm still doing as well as everyone else) so maybe you can ask about this.
your a level combination overall isn't that uncommon, i know a few people in my year that take two stem subjects and an essay subject. it really depends on what you want to do after sixth form, if you're planning on taking the stem route then you're set. i haven't seen a course that asks for more than 2 stem subjects. take for example biology, they will most likely ask for biology and another science subject (which is chemistry for you). taking english is actually a good idea as you enjoy it and it's not a science subject so in my opinion it may make your stem subjects feel less overwhelming. of course, you definitely have the option to switch your subjects so i'd say see how your first few weeks go and if it's not working out then you can amend your options.

What are you wanting to do after your a-levels?
You can still go down various paths with that subject combination.

I am honestly an incredibly indecisive person.
I was considering pharmacy, medicine or nutrition possibly?
I would also love to be an English teacher but I don’t think my parents look too fondly on that.

hey Im currently in y13 studying bio chem maths.
To address ur concern about being at a disadvantage bc u studied combined, Im ngl i dont think it will,make a difference.once u start a level content its all relatively new which neither combined or triple have learnt. I also studied triple science at GCSE and the gap isnt that big and Im sure your teachers will teach accordingly, based amount of ppl that did triple and combined.
to address the English lit issue, can I ask if you know what you wanna persue in the future or the field? If you want to study something healthcare related i would say maybe pick another STEM but I’d say check requirements for unis for the course you’d want to take.also you said youve loved English since you were little, do you actually want to persue js in the future or just want to stufy at a level. Also I know people who stufy a level English lit and you don’t really do creative writing like you do at GCSE.

For any medicine courses, u want to have maths. Maths bio chem is most ideal even if u want research.
