DS is in Year 11 and we recently attended a 6th form evening to start to prepare for A levels choices. DS wants to go into law and had virtually made his choices English Lit, History, Physics and either Spanish or German, but after a discussion with one of his teachers he has been told that unless he wants to study medicine and do 2 sciences, his science choice is a waste and he would be better doing both languages, he is top of the year in both, this seems a great idea to me as he really gets languages, he is 2nd in year in Latin and to my mind languages would help him work anywhere in the world. Am I right, are his choices good ones, will they get him into say Cambridge or Oxford, he is predicted 11A* at GCSE (not being a show off just how it is, not sure where he gets his talent from) his tutors believe he will have no problems continuing all 4 subjects as he has already started German AS level. I have tried to look up the best choices for Law and all suggest English and History but nothing else. Any guidance appreciated.
