A level options and work experience advice

[hellymyname]

So, I am having to choose my A levels at the moment. I am pretty certain that i want to study English or Spanish or maybe do a joint honours degree, so my subjects so far are English, History and Spanish. However I am totally stuck on what to choose for my fourth AS subject. Seeing as I am working on the basis of applying to do English at university, what subject would compliment these? Also, I would really really love to go to Oxford, so are there any subjects that would put me in a better position for getting a place there. My options are- Art, Politics, Latin, Maths, Economics, Pshychology, History of Art.. i am not a huge fan of latin maths or economics, but i am willing to study them for one year if it means a better chance of acceptance from one of the top universities.. so what should i study? We are also having to choose work experience placements, and i am stuck between two careers- fashion journalism and law. I am very interested in fashion, and i love writing, so fashion journalism is my dream really, but law is a highly paid profession and i could get a lot of help as both my mum is a lawyer... any ideas? Sorry its so long!

don't you have any consultations coming up at school? your teachers should be best to advise you on this.

Hi ive just done my A-levels and I'm not at Uni.

If you get an A in maths AS it will add weight to your application. All universities want really is to a relevent subject which you want to study further, and then good grades along side to show you have a brain on your soldiers.

Politics would be good for law, but maths will be more respected as a harder subject.

On the career choice, do the law first, and then when your minted go into the fashion design.
