    What's a good present to get for a teacher

    tips on essays

    which subject to drop

    Any combination of subjects is able to give you a good UAI. Choose which subject you like better, if your reasons for doing any particular subject are related to another person, then stuff that reason. Be selfish - choose whatever you like.
