It depends on your intended major. For example, if you intend to major in engineering, it is critical you have a strong foundation in physics. If your major is English or psychology then it is not, as long as you have completed some type of laboratory science during high school.

Would taking A-level statistics be useful for university physics?

Statistics are not used all that much in college physics courses, though stats definitely is useful for many other things and I would recommend taking it anyway. It depends what your choices are and what your intention is as far as a college major. If your primary concern is preparing yourself for a college physics course, your best bet would be to strengthen your math skills (through calculus), and obviously take any physics offered in high school.


Courses to take in high school for engineering?

Search the websites of the universities you are likely to go to, and see what they say for "Admission Requirements." They will vary a bit, but for any kind of engineering you can't go wrong taking all the maths and science courses your High School offers, at the highest levels they are offered. But don't neglect at least one higher level English course.


Do you need to take Physics in high school to major in Physics as a freshmen in college I'm taking Chemistry Plant Science Calculus and Microbiology at a community college. Will I be okay for UC?

I have no idea if you will be okay or not, that is completely up to you. No, it is not required to take Physics in high school to major in Physics. It does help though. Some people take AP Physics in high school so they can skip Introductory Physics in college. This just gives them a step up on the rest of the students. It is completely possible to major in Physics without knowing ANYTHING about Physics. At most colleges you do your orientation and they ask you if there is anything you want to major in and you just tell them. It pretty much doesn't matter what happened in high school as long as you can get into the college or university. Once your in, you are free to major in anything you want!
