Which direction to take?

Question

IT education

What direction would you recommend? I read technical literature (JS, PHP, JAVA, C ++), I have knowledge in SQL, problems with physics, mathematics is not bad. I would like to enter the first, but I'm afraid they will fail with mathematics, or the fourth, but there is a high passing. I want a balance between programming and mathematics, plus some physics.
There are 4 directions at the faculty:
1) Mathematical modeling and computational mathematics
2) High-performance computing systems based on large computers
3) Applied informatics in the information sphere
4) Development of software and information systems
It is advisable to list them in descending order with a brief description.

Answer 1

Enter the army. By the way, I'm not kidding. Serve first in the army, think for a year, what do you want from life, so as not to make a hasty conclusion. Moreover, your exam will be valid.

Answer 2

Don't go where there's a lot of math. They will fill it up properly, and they will teach programming according to the program of 10 years ago. If you don’t have enough points for a direction by the type of software development, then go where you will have more free time for self-study. And in parallel, go to the conferences and events you need, attend practices, courses.

Answer 3

Great advice given by Praytic . I would add that you need to cut your projects (mb in cursive format) that would expand the "comfort zone" - in a new language, a new level of complexity, a new project scope, a new domain area, etc. While you are learning, do not stagnate in one area (be it web, mobile apps, graphics/games, or anything else), try different things.
