are my GCSE options good?

don't worry about what subjects your choosing - just make sure you enjoy them and will get a good grade in them - especially if you want to go to cambridge or oxford - they look for straight A's in GCSE's

you only really need your GCSE's to get to your A levels - they won't really affect your career choice.

its when you get to choosing your a levels you need think about your career!

business studies is a very good choose - i did it at GCSE too and as long as you work hard, you can easily get a high grade

i recommend you do drama over media - especially if you decide you want to go into acting as an additional job/hobby it will give you extra practise and looking at your experience you must be good at drama therefore you will be able to get a very high grade

good luck with whatever you choose!

Normally at university level, it doesn't matter what GCSEs you did as long as you got good grades in them (which it looks like you'll get). As long as you can get onto the right A level courses with those GCSEs they should be fine.

I didn't do drama or media at GCSE, but I think a lot of people who did media did well in it at my school. And as you'll be doing a lot of acting outside of school, doing it as a subject could get to be quite a chore and your life could very easily begin to revolve around drama.

And for university, if you want to apply to one of the top universities or any in the Russell Group, you should look up a list of 'hard' and 'soft' subjects. 'Hard' subjects are things like Maths, any sciences, History, Geography, Politics (I think) or any language. 'Soft' subjects are things like art, psychology, law, drama...the things that are seen as being less traditionally academic.

And this might sound weird, but...don't do A level law! Lots of better universities prefer it if Law applicants haven't done law A level, as a lot of the content you cover in the A level course isn't relevant to your degree. Choose an essay-based subject that will give you relevant skills such as analysing information, writing questions and keeping an organised folder (sounds random but trust me, it's useful). History, Geography or Politics would be good choices as a substitute to Law.

Hope I helped and good luck :)

Blimey you seem like a switched on girl!! As you seem to already know its your A Levels that are important towards your degree, just remember that you will need A's when you do them if you want to go to Oxon or Cambs but dont just set your sights on them Durham has a great law school too. My son has same roals as you but he's only 10!!

Good luck and remember Oxford is better than Cambridge cos its where I'm from
