My son is waiting for his AS results so is at the Planning for Uni stage but he has absolutely no clue what he wants to do! He's doing Maths, Physics, History and Classical Civ at A level but will drop one of these for next year. It's almost certain that either History or CC will be the one that goes as he has a mild learning disability (he receives extra time at exams) that makes essay writing a real problem. He seems to do quite well at Maths and Physics so everyone keeps pointing him towards engineering but it's not sparking any real interest from him. The alternative is to go with an essay based subject that he might find more interesting but we are both worried that he'll find the essay writing too big a problem in the end. I don't know how to advise him! he stress is beginning to mount as, until he can decide on the type of course, he can't decide on which Uni's to apply to...never mind start writing his personal statement!
