DS has ASD and a statement of SEN. He missed the offer to study Physics, scoring unexpectedly a B instead of predicted A*. So he started learning Maths, Further Maths and German as planned. However the school doesn't think he should do a forth subject - which was supposed to be Physics, so now DS is left with potential 3 AS and there is a chance that score very briliantly in the German A2. So DS will be retaking Phisics GCSE and trying to do 4 AS and 3 A2 including Physics over 3 years.
How would universities look at this?
Is 3 years a worse option that 3 AS and 3 A2, with potentially one A2 not very good?
What options if DS gets good Maths grades but say a D in Germamn at AS/A2?
