DD really wants to study law, not looking at oxbridge but UCL etc. Ideally she wants Law with French Law.
Her school is the type where you start with 4 A-levels and drop one for Y13 if you want to. She's thinking Maths, English, French then PE (she thinks she will keep it in Y13 I don't think she will. Are these okay? Should she do History or similar instead?

maths, English and French all sound fine, PE is the outlier.

Ideally she needs 3 academic A levels because Law is ultra competitive. PE adds nothing in y13. Not much in y12 to be honest. UCL do not have PE on their list of preferred A levels for anything but would consider it as a third A level. However I cannot see how this would make her competitive. Maths, English and French are far better.

I wouldn't bother with the PE, can she do an EPQ instead?
@mummyinbeds has a DC doing Law with French Law and may be able to offer a bit of an insight from her DC's perspective on the degree? (hopefully the tag will let her see this).

Thanks @JustHereWithMyPopcorn
Yes my DS is in year 3 of Law with French and French Law. He did Law, French and Politics A Levels and had offers from all his choices except Oxford. The main thing to consider is grades - UCL will want A*AA. Would PE be a distraction? From what I understand, it's not an easy A Level to get top grades in.
@crosley If you have any questions about the law/French degree, ask away.
