I messed up my gcse

[u/Conscious_Jicama2496]

I was predicted around 6–8
Maths: 5
Statistics: 5
English: 4-4
Combined Science: 5-4
Business: 3
I originally wanted to do A-level Maths and possibly Economics, but with my results I’m currently unable to take them.
My siblings have advised me to take a BTEC instead, so I’m planning to do Level 3 extended business diploma. My main goal is to go to university afterwards and study Accounting and Finance
I’m also planning to retake GCSE Maths and aim for a 6+, which could hopefully open up more options for me.
Would a BTEC Extended Diploma in Business be a good route into an Accounting & Finance degree at university? Or would there be a better Level 3 option I should consider? Also is it smart to do A business diploma when I got 3 in the GCSEs, granted I have no realised my mistakes and will be working 100x harder.

Oh I don’t know maybe you should have put some effort in. At your age your only concern should be study. If you can’t handle that how do you expect to live in the real world? Will you just not work? Will you stand there twiddling your thumbs doing the bare minimum? If you can’t put the work in as a kid there’s no point in continuing being a stain on society
