    I'm just after starting 5th year and I'm doing HL maths, physics, chemistry, biology.. I really enjoy them all and I'm hoping to pursue a career in general science or medicine, I seem to have good ability in them all (so far anyway!), I don't particularly like Irish and so I'm considering dropping to ordinary level to take on applied maths as an extra subject, is that too much maths/science?basically I'm looking for advice! I got an A in Irish for the junior cert but that was just down to rote learning and not because I'm a natural at the subject! Hopefully someone reads this that can help me! Thanks!

    If you want to go down the science route then those subjects will work well for you, I know people who are doing the exact same subject-wise and they seem quite happy doing them. For the Leaving Cert you really have to play to your strengths while making sure you fulfil the requirements for your courses.

    If you take on Applied Maths as an extra subject you will need to be very dedicated as it can be quite difficult at times. Whatever you decide to do, good luck!
