DD is pretty sure she wants to study something in the human biosciences but is looking for a course where she can keep her options open and 'taste' subjects like psychology, neuroscience, biomedical topics etc at uni level before specialising and not have to commit up front. But she is clear its human bio and not general bio, or plants.
I did a degree with lots of options and only specialising in yr 3, and it worked very well, indecisiveness clearly runs in the family
Her predicted grades are likely to be AAA-ish I am guessing (based on results so far) and she is keen to go to a "top" uni - whatever that is, but she is aware of the fact that different unis have different reputations, whether justified or not! (tho maybe not Oxbridge), but we're going round in circles a bit on course options, an she has comparison fatigue!
Her A levels are biology, psychology and maths btw - no chemistry, which rules out a number of options.
Obviously we need to do more research, but if anyone has suggestions , or better still, recent experience and recommendations, they will be gratefully received.
Very many thanks!
