    Hi Guys. :)
    So I've currently just begun fifth year and I was hoping to get some advice from you guys!
    I'm currently doing the following subjects:
    Maths - Higher
    English - Higher
    Irish - Ordinary
    Accounting - Higher
    Geography - Higher
    French - Higher
    Physics - Higher
    LCVP
    And I was wondering if you guys would recommend taking up economics? :-)
    It's a subject that is appealing to me and Business was my favourite subject for JC.
    Also, does anyone know of any colleges that do a Computer Science & Business Degree? :)
    MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is my preferred college of choice but I can't work their website.
    Thanks for the help guys. <3

    I hope you have plenty money if you are considering studying in the US.
    Here's their international admissions page, it seems quite easy to understand.

    Thank You. <3
    I don't suppose you'd have a full list of courses? :P
    That's the part of the site that I can't understand :P

    If i were you id drop to ordinary french unless ur expecting a very high grade. If u think u can get at least a B1 i wouldnt even consider taking economics because it will only take away from your other subjects.

    Thanks bobjimmy for your advice! :)
    French is one of my best subjects and I think I could get atleast an A2 in it so I want to keep the HL for now.
    I think I could hopefully get an A in economics because it's something I really like which is half the battle.
    I'm also going to be doing evening study this year which is for 3 hours each day in our hall so I'd be giving the last hour completely over to economics.
    I'd also be teaching it to myself which is what I did for Geography last year and I found it much easier than being in class. :)

    Thanks Spurious.
    By the looks of things I think I want to major in Computer Science and Engineering and minor in Economics.
    I'm not sure how the college system works but I hope i'd be able to. :)
