Guys I need help
I am taking business economics and maths + epq to study finance and accounting in Uni
Do uni hâte students who take business and eco together and could this affect my chances of being accepted
My dream school is NYU and I messed up my igs a bit
Is it better to take 3 and do really good at them then to take 4 and risk a bad grade
Please help thank youuuu

is further maths an option?

real zinc
#

I haven’t done add maths so won’t further maths be really hard?

silk jewel
#

because they are overlapping subjects and economics is more valued than business

#

however i'm not sure if this applies to north american universities

I have a similar issue
I do bus Econ math and psychology but I suck so bad at maths and I rlly wanna drop it

#

But I wanna get into business in uni but I heard bus and Econ together are not accepted

silk jewel
#

economics is highly valued by unis compared to business

tawny heath
silk jewel
#

it's still accepted

#

you need to make sure that you don't need maths to be accepted into the course

Like howw

# tawny heath Like howw

since taking business and economics together isn't preferred by universities, your academic admissions value can be "weaker" compared to students that did econs, maths and psych

#

☹️ I would choose Econ psych and maths if only I didn’t suck horribly at maths

i want to do something along the lines of designing in my career. didnt get good grades at all in my o level with sciences as my major. I have now taken media studies, socio and urdu (which i want to change with psychology) tell me are these the right choices?? bec after my o level grades ive come to a point where i want to choose easy scoring subjects for myself so that i can bring good grades.

real zinc
#

Hmm what did u get in ur o levels

#

Cayse if I am being honest it doesn’t matter

#

Uni hardly care about o levels and if u get good on ur a levels it Js shows progression

#

So many of my Friedan had bad grades o levels then aced a levels and there SAT

#

What do u wnana do for professional studies

fringe folio
#

#

vast wedge
#

#

Media studies isn't preferred by some places but if you want that specific parh then sure.. but why Urdu??

#

vast wedge
#

not very related to most courses is it

fringe folio
#

yes but the couseller told me, there are no specific subjects for designing

vast wedge
#

idk what u mean by designing??

#

U want to be an architect or smtn

fringe folio
#

as in career wise

vast wedge
#

I know media studies can be hard

#

because the coursework does take ages

#

a lot of students have to stay behind at school for a couple hours a day I think

#

if ur fine with that then it'll work

vast wedge
#

idk what designing means

fringe folio
vast wedge
#

Not accepted in most schools

#

Like straight up they have something directly saying they don't accept it

# fringe folio fashion designing, textile

do these universities that offer this course have recommended subjects? i saw that you said the counsellor told you that there aren't any specific subjects but there should be recommended subjects

#

for fashion design or textiles, i believe the recommended subjects with the choices you're given are art, business, and another subject that you'd like

#

business may be random but in the subject, you'd learn about marketing, product branding and operations of a business which would be useful for fashion design

#

i've read online that people say it's best to take an art or design related subject in a level such as art, design technology and textiles but since your college only offers art, that's the choice you'd have to take

#

media studies can work in the case of doing fashion design

#

so art, business, media studies and/or another subject you like (preferably a humanity)

#

i think you could also do business, media studies and another subject because a level art is ridiculously difficult
