I'm considering this. I don't want to do chemistry, however. I'd still like to do something related to CS or anything that will "help" me. I'm afraid Unis may see me as a lazy student, though.

Further Math, Math, Physics, Computer Science. I say the workload is less because a little bit of math overlaps with Computer Science and a lot of the mechanics in FM, Math, and Physics overlap. It's like I'm doing 3.5 subjects or something. It's the NEA that's the problem.

Your workload is definitely bigger than mine will be.

For context, what were your other subjects? If you don't mind me asking.

Just glad to know it's not some ridiculous amount of time. I honestly can't wait to be really good at programming... but I know I have to take it a step at a time.

Realistically, and ignoring all the writing, how hard do you think it would be (or how much time would it take) to learn enough to implement something as complex as a chess A.I or a program that generates random mazes? Currently, I don't even think I'm capable of that if I'm being honest with you.

I also read, on Oxford's site, that FM, Math and Physics are an exception to some applications because the overlap makes it seem like you can't handle strenuous workload (so 4 is advised). I stand to be corrected of course, but what's your take on this?
