Help with subject selection

[Wookie_PantherX1]

Hi all i'm currently a year 11 vce student and since i am doing 6 subjects this year i have to drop 1 when i get to year 12
I'm undertaking mathematical methods, english, chemistry, computing, media, and history.
I'm interested in studying computer science at RMIT university and they only require methods and english.
I'm looking to drop chemistry because that's my weakest subject but i'm not sure if its still a good idea.
I enjoy all my other subjects and i'm a lot better at them than i am with methods or chemistry.
Plz help me out

If you were to study something other than compsci, what would it be?

probs computer engineering if i get the grades, otherwise i'm not so sure.

Well if it's your weakest subject, and it's not really needed for any prerequisites, I'd drop Chem...
Seems a logical choice.

And btw, Welcome to AN!

Alright i think i will drop it but course confirmation isn't until November at my school so until then i'll see if i will improve or not
otherwise thanks for the advice and the warm welcome.

Unfortunately Methods is a requirement for most if not all CS courses now and it's definitely a prerequisite for good reason - the maths needed to be successful in a CS (even IT) course is about at that level.

I'd recommend looking into Algorithmics if you're genuine about Computer Science. Most schools don't run it yet but Distance does.

I dropped Chem at the end of Year 11 too - definitely play to your strengths. If you feel it isn't one of yours, drop it.
