GCSE Options Help?

[Frostbite]

Just a little note: English teenagers will understand what I'm talking about best, but the gist of my problem shouldn't be too hard to pick up on and any and all advice will be taken into account. Thanks in advance :)

I've got to hand in my GCSE Options form before Monday 6th Feb and to be honest I'm freaking out.
I already know I'm going to take French (I have to have a language GCSE to get into the sixth-form I want to get into) and Art, along with the compulsory subjects (English, Science, Maths, IT, and RPE or CES), so that leaves me with one more elective - History or Geography.
After weeks of debating, asking my teachers about the course, and taking into account where it could take me career-wise, the teachers I might get, and the exams themselves, I have decided that I want to take Geography.
The only thing holding me back is that I want to take History at A-Level, and it is strongly recommended that I take History at GCSE if I want to continue it through my A-Levels.
It may not seem like a big problem, but I'm terrified of making the wrong choice because the deadline is in less than a week and once I've handed my form in it can't be changed.

I suppose my question is what would you do in my situation and why?

If you want to take geography take geography.

I did history at gcse and am now halfway through my history AS. We've just had open evening at my school and a common question is yours do you need a history gcse to do a level and truth is you really don't. The majority of the time the content and period you're studying isn't the same so you would know just as much as the others. And the essays well there's an entirely different style to be learnt for a level essays in general its a lot different approach than gcse.

Take geography if that's what you want, you can still take history at a level you won't be at any disadvantage. You're more likely to do well at something you wanted to take.
