I'm planning to apply to british unis after alevels (im doing gcses rn) so im pretty sure i need to take physics, maths but i was also planning on taking history (random but i enjoy history) and further maths

@remote prism math physics chem and further math do NOT take history

marsh sequoia <@716281448197259286> math physics chem and further math do NOT take history

why though?

#

im like pretty good at it

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 7:57 AM

#

history wont help but chem will

#

history is NOT going to help u pass fluid dynamics

#

history is NOT going help u pass control systems

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

marsh sequoia history is NOT going to help u pass fluid dynamics

no but phy maths and fm are enough for allthat

#

history is just to have some fun

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

man take ur future seriously u cant pick subjects for fun

#

tbf u can technically do phy maths and fm only and not take history

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

hmm

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

coz further maths is a big burden in itself if ur not good at ig math

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 8:00 AM

#

i see

#

thanks!

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 8:01 AM

#

@remote prism tbf id also recommend not take chem coz its the largest science syllabus in cambridge so thats another massive burden but if u can manage it take fm chem math phy

You can learn lots of history yourself without the burden of an exam :)

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 8:01 AM

#

otherwise stick to math phy fm

yeah no theres no way im taking chemistry

#

i guess ill stick to these 3 subs

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 8:02 AM

#

then stick to further math math phy

#

yeah focus on getting 3As in those

#

coz to get into a good UK uni, u need atleast 2A*A

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 8:02 AM

#

do you apply to uni during the beg of year 13?

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

yea between september and january

#

it is better to apply early coz it helps u choose ur firm choice and insurance choice faster

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

and its only an offer right? its not like you're guranteed a place there

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

firm is where u wanna go, insurance is where youll go if u dont meet the offer of the firm

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

i see

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 8:04 AM

#

remote prism and its only an offer right? its not like you're guranteed a place there

yeah, sometimes unis can be lenient and let u in if u miss by like a grade or smth but if its like a big margin then nah

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 8:04 AM

#

ohhh

marsh sequoia Apr 25, 2024, 8:04 AM

#

coz ur competing with hundreds of offer holders too remember so they're all fighting for a seat as well

remote prism Apr 25, 2024, 8:04 AM

#
