I am in year thirteen (my second year of A Levels) and am currently predicted three As in English Literature, Drama and Media studies. I have reconsidered the degree I previously received offers for and would like to study Law or Law and Politics instead, after a gap year. A dream would be to study at UCL, but other universities I am considering include Cardiff, UEA, Surrey and York.
My issue is that I worry my second two subjects will be looked down upon by some universities, and would also like to develop some more concrete knowledge of the world before I go to university. I do wish I had taken a subject like History or Philosophy instead of either Drama or Media Studies but had no idea I would want to pursue law at the time.
I wonder if it would be worth me taking an extra essay-based A Level in a subject such as History or Politics next year to aid my application and develop further knowledge.
It would be much appreciated if anyone had any thoughts or advice on this, getting into universities as competitive as UCL, or the LLB program in general.
