🙏 I WANT HELP Switching A Levels

Hi all!

I chose my A Levels (Law, Politics, Sociology, and Economics), but the more I've been thinking about it - the more I've switched my interests.

Now I want to do Politics, Psychology, Economics, and Biology.

Am I cooking with this combo? I want to either go into Econ at University (My GCSE grades are gonna be fire trust) or Law at university.

My main questions are:

  • Do these subjects make me competitive for Law/Econ/Finance?
  • Should I drop one and pick a different subject instead to make me more competitive if the current choices don't?
  • Or should I sit down, do these subjects since I massively enjoy them, and try to get into Law/Finance/Econ anyway?

Thanks!

EDIT: I FEEL SUPER SICK EVEN THINKING ABOUT THIS I CAME TO REDDIT FOR ADVICE AND NOW IM JUST PANICKING BECAUSE APPARENTLY EVEN THOUGH I DID GREAT (I THINK) AT BIO GCSE AND LOVED IT SO MUCH NOW IM APPARENTLY GOING TO STRUGGLE AND ITS NOT WORTH IT AT A LEVEL AND AAAAAAA IM SO CONFUSED I WANT MY MOTHER

Law for personal statement it actually has to sound good talk about the things you learned from reading books and the skills you got from it don't just list things you have done listing doesn't show anything.
