Will I able to get onto a science course with a crappy AS maths grade?

If I got an E D C maybe?
I'm thinking of neuroscience biochemistry biomedical science pharmacology
will this affect me if I go on to graduate medicine?

depends if you apply to a uni that wants grades or UCAS points...

Be aware that there's often a heavy maths component to science - probably biochemistry, at least - so just make sure you've checked the course content to make sure you'll be able to handle the maths.

Ok cool...my maths isnt too bad but at the same time there's a lot of equations that I don't really want to be doing..do you think that gcse maths isn't sufficient? I got an A in that and I do chemistry now so if i can't handle the maths in my a2 course then that should be a good indicator?

Yeah, probably, but bear in mind that I don't study a science (I'm maths) so I can't judge too well

oh ok fair enough...sorry I'm having a hard time deciding what to study at Uni and drop at college

Good luck with the decision!

most courses dont specify a grade in a 4th AS
My neighbours daughter got an E in her 4th subject so dw you can email Unis to confirm once you've got your result

Got a E in AS maths and got 5 offers this year for biochem (Nottingham), medical phsyiology(leicester), pharmaceutical chem (Leicester), pharmaceutical chem(lboro) and chem (keele). There is quite a bit of maths in chem at A2 which I struggled with and you have to do an extra maths course in the first year of uni if you haven't done it for A level. Just about everyone who applies for chem does maths a level (at least by show of hands at open days I've been to) so you might be at a disadvantage. Have a look at the A2 syllabus before deciding to carry on chem (btw I'm hoping for a B in chem next week so it's not impossible)

Despite your AS grades you can still come out with good grades at the end of A2 given if you are able to commit to improving your grades.

Just ask Brian Cox. He's a Physics legend, and he got a D in A-level Maths.
