Hi,
After reading through some subject option threads on this website, it seems like everyone is so helpful and it would mean the world to me if anyone
could just give me a little advice and answer a few questions for me!
I am in S3 and currently choosing subject options to sit at National 5 next year.
In a few years, I hope to apply to Medicine as when I am older I would love to become a doctor and ultimately to specialize in paediatrics.
The subjects I take at the moment are
English, Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, French, History, Modern Studies, Admin & IT, Hospitality, and Graphic Communication.
The subjects I have chosen for S4 are:
National 5 English
National 5 Maths
National 5 Chemistry
National 5 Biology
National 5 Physics
National 5 Modern Studies
(I would rather take History instead of Modern Studies but it didn’t work out in the right column for me. However, I am not too stressed over this as I enjoy both subjects and know that I will be able to take History as a crash if I decide to at another point).
Hopefully these subjects will lead to me taking, in S5:
Higher English
Higher Maths
Higher Chemistry
Higher Human Biology
Higher Modern Studies
I have a few questions about these option choices:
Do these options seem like good choices for applying to medicine?
Is it a bad thing to limit options by taking all three sciences?
Should I be taking a foreign language to National 5 or am I okay without it?Overall, am I choosing the right subjects to get me where I want to be,and is there anything I should change or look at?
I absolutely love all of the sciences and really feel prepared to work hard to achieve my potential in all of my subjects in the next few years.It would be so incredible to get some advice from people who have been through the process of choosing subjects and know what it’s like- thank you so much in advance!
