DS1 is in Yr9 of a state comp. Quite bright - but also quite lazy.
We have to choose his GCSE options soon and I have a couple of questions that I hope someboby can answer.
Do your options at GCSE have any impact on your chances of gaining admission to Oxford or Cambridge?
Are any courses perceived as "soft" options similar to the list at A-level that top universities won't count?
Is it ok to choose solely academic subjects?
Any advice on this specific list -
English Language and Literature
Maths
Triple Science
French
Mandarin
History
Geography
RE
Citizenship
Economics
Thanks in advance for any help
