BTEC Health and Social Care and BTEC Public Services?
A bit of background - my daughter is 17 and has wanted to go to university to study law since she was in year 8. She has always been very bright, was always in the top sets at school, etc unfortunately during her last two years at school she was very ill and spent most of it in hospital which made her miss a lot of school work. Because of this she only just managed to get 4 GCSE's A*-C - her teachers did say however that if she hadn't missed so much school she could have easily got the full set of 11 GCSE's which she took. She was still exhausted after her illness though and we all felt that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to send her straight to college or anything like that as she was still pretty much in and out of hospital for further tests and we didn't want to disrupt her education any further.
She has still always talked about wanting to go to university though and she has decided that she would like to go to college this September. She knew that her four GCSE's wouldn't be good enough to do A Levels so she wants to re-sit the ones she failed this year and then do A Levels next year.
However when we went along to an open day at the college last week they agreed that she doesn't meet the entry requirements for A Levels but they told us that because "of her age" she wouldn't be able to re-sit GCSE's this year to do A Levels next year. They said it was because next year she would be 18 thus "too old to start A Levels" 
They then brought someone else over who then started talking about alternative routes and she went through a prospectus with us and recommended that my daughter did either a BTEC Public Services or a BTEC Health and Social Care to start in September. We were both a bit confused about this and the next conversation went something like this:
Me: She wants to do law at university, I'm not sure those courses would be suitable.
Advisor: Those courses are fine for uni, lots of BTEC students go to uni afterwards.
Me: But like I said, she wants to do law, would those be suitable for that?
Advisor: She could apply for any course she wants to once she's finished.
Well I'm not sure about the "any course" point and I could understand maybe a public services student going to university to study law afterwards, but health and social care? Really? 
.
After talking to someone else about the public services BTEC who explained a bit more about the course, my daughter hated the sound of it and felt it wasn't for her. He explained that it was mostly an outdoors based course and there were a lot of trips which wouldn't suit my daughter or her style of learning at all. He also said that they've been running the course for five years now and although a couple go to university afterwards (and usually to study criminology) most go straight into work. She felt it wouldn't prepare her for the academic side of a law degree at all.
My daughter is now upset and is looking at colleges further away but AIBU to think that neither of those courses (especially health and social care) would suit my daughter or be the best to go for a law degree afterwards? Or am I just crazy?
