Dd1 is 15 and is doing GCSE - she is doing 10 GCSEs which includes three sciences, English language, literature, maths, French , music, history and Latin and is expected to do well in her exams. She is sitting some modules this year but most of the exams are next year.
She has just done her grade 8 cello with distinction (only just with 130) and never used to practice as much as needed before this but has always managed to do well in her music exams. Also, she is on grade 8 piano and grade 7 singing.
She is a typical teenager and has not expressed any interest in any career ( anything)in particular so far. Most of her peers know what they want to do ranging from medicine, economics, English etc.,
I happened to mention about physics and music as one of my collegues mentioned about this and she really wants to do this now. She has looked at various universities - Imperial , Cardiff .
Does any know anything about this and it does looks incredibly tough to get in and to sustain.
I did tell her to have realistic expectations but feel that I am not encouraging her now that she has expressed something she is interested in.
