Just reading out of interest, as a wannabe myself... finishing off A Levels this year, predicted AAAA in Maths, Physics, French and Law. Got 10 GCSE's at A or A*.. I have no idea what other people have got.. And I agree, only do the subjects in which your interest lies. I have a passion for Physics, and maths.. and therefore I am considering doing a MSc before training.. maybe not.. but at the end of the day it is up to the individual. I would not be going to university or I would not have done A Levels if I didn't want to. There is an educational route (believe it or not) suited to nearly everybody.. it just takes time to find yourself and find which suites you.
Good luck with everything
PS- I heard that C1 and C2 this year were rather deadly- you may have done better than you think
