Quick question about 5th choice for medicine:

Would the universities accept a medicine PS in either one of zoology, biology or marine biology?

At either Bath, Bristol, York, Exeter or Durham?

Some universities will accept a separate personal statement as they understand that many people would have put down these courses as their 5th choices. You should email them directly to enquire about this.

It would be preferable to switch to science A levels if you can, medicine is competitive enough let alone the pre-med programs.
