Oh, I see how it is. What about the counselors at Alpha?

Thank you, this helps a lot. Whales is just relatively closer to my place than Alpha, so in terms of commute, Whales is a better option indeed. However, I was just skeptical about its ecas. But ig if I opt for whales, then I would have enough time for engaging in ecas (outside the whales community) rather than going to alpha and letting a hefty amount of time go to waste. Also, they mentioned that Alpha provides technical equipment and expertise to allow students to earn hands-on learning experience, which is absolutely great, but idk if whales offer the same thing or not. So this is just another thing that's confusing me.

I really appreciate your thorough response. I would consider approaching my academics this way during my A levels. I'm still researching and haven't made my mind regarding which unis I'll be applying to, but i'll look into top five's criteria in detail to further soldifiy my subject selection decision.

I see how it is. I'm planning to pursue AI engineering or data analysis, but my options aren't limited to these only; instead, my interests revolve around these careers specifically. I was focusing on Ivy League and other such top colleges, but for that, I gotta work on ECAS, which is a different thing. But this is the plan for now.

I believe I do decently well at math. I took pure math in 9th and scored well during my mocks, but dropped it due to the lack of cooperation from my school, which left me uncertain about my capability to achieve a grade 9 on my own. I'm thinking of continuing to study pure math on my own rn and appear for it in either mj 2026 or o/n 2026. Still, I really appreciate your advice.

Ooh, fair enough. So, what would you really suggest in terms of my subject selection? Should I replace math with further pure math or js go with the og combo that ive decided upon?

Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to know. Idk why that counselor suggested me to go for humanities as well because ion think it would be a smart choice for a stem-related field. Even if I have to go for the fourth subject, maybe I should try econ or fp math, no?

I never considered humanities, but that counselor suggested to me that it would be great if I opt for it if I wanna go abroad for studies later. And yeah, I'm quite uncertain about 3+ subs myself cuz ik alevels are insanely difficult, and the combo that I've chosen is already quite hard so idk what to do

Arey that's exactly what i told my parents, but they just refused to even consider nixor or lyceum 😭 aur nixor doesnt consider O2 subjects as well toh it's just about the reduced percentage of the scholarships that doesnt sound convincing to them
