Quick Question

I'm going to be applying for medicine this year and I know that the entry requirements are AAAb
Well... most of the them

But as for my fourth As-level... I've chosen Geography
and I know I'm not going to do so well .. not even manage a B

So I was wondering if I took a language As-level next year to fall back on
Will they still accept me... providing that I get at least a B in my language as-level next year.. or will they just take my F in geography and ... well *REJECT*

Because another one of my friends who wants to apply for medicine is doing her As-level next year which is English... will that work out for her too?

Can students take their as-level in the second year?

Not too sure about whether taking geography or a language as I have no clue on medicine schools, but you can take as levels while your taking a2 you mean as long as the classes dont clash...ask your teacher as schools are different..

I'm allowed to do so, I've checked and asked my teachers and the headmistress too....
I'm def. able to do a language next year

but my question is will medical schools accept it if i take it next year?
and will geography still influence their decision on accepting me? will they just take my F in geography and *REJECTED*

=/

Because I'm still considering if I should sit the exam or not.... but isn't the exam already cashed in if you've signed up for it?
so a D/F is better than a U I guess.....

^^ LOL i meant 3 A2 levels

LOL it's fine i gotchya !

so all I have to do .. is not "cash" the results ? O.O

You can take AS levels in your second year of sixth form(well, you can at some schools anyway, so you should probably check with them), but I would think carefully about taking a language...

If you can already speak a language to a decent level then I'd go for it, but if you can't, then it'd be a lot of work to get it up to a B grade.

I'm guessing that your three A2s are science subjects, and I think you should be fine with a language at AS. From what I remember when I thought about medicine, it's normally three science at AS, and at least 2 (incl. Chemistry) at A2. Other than that, they're not to bothered about what subjects you do (provided they're sufficiently academic, which a language would be).

talk to your 'exam caher in' guy/woman (Y) about it because the rules changed when i did it last year so my bet is to tell them not to cash it in if you dont want it ...good luck

again.. Thanks a lot!
I was really worried about this.... Posting stuff on here makes things seem a lot better !

and are you already at Uni now? O.O

so all I have to do .. is not "cash" the results ? O.O

You have to cash in your results now

(unless you go to a private school, in which case you can chose. However, if a university knows that your school normally cash in your grades, then they will get suspicious as to why you haven't cashed in yours)

your welcome..i know this website reassures me with every academic decision i make!

Im going to study architecture this september..not sure where yet, but possibly greenwich

Best of luck in your future endeavours =)
