Make them read this before they choose!
A grades in drama and theatre studies, religious studies, and English language and literature, but no university offer 2 years in a row...
Drama/theatre studies and English lang/lit is obviously not a good combination; much too similar. Religious studies may well be (& should be) quite rigorous intellectually - I have no idea what the syllabus is like - but I can imagine admissions tutors glazing over at 2 lots of "studies" without looking any further.
Frustrating for the lad but who let him choose those subjects? His school should have advised him!
