If people could give me an analysis of whether my plan is good then i'd be very grateful!
Right, so i've decided to go into medicine after having gone down the arts route. I did well, got a first in History from Cambridge.
So, my original A levels were; Mathematics, History, Eng Lang & Lit, Law and AS Critical Thinking. All A grades.
Now... I'm phoning medicine departments tomorrow to check if my plan is okay with them.... but I'll outline it below:
To do Biology and Chemistry A levels over 2 years whilst doing extensive work experience. To live at home (luckily rent free) and work part time (to save a bit and help my parents a bit with the funding). 2 years I think is enough time to put a good work experience resume together, given that i'm starting from scratch!
The application would be sent off at the start of October 2012.
My reason for taking the A levels becomes clear when you see the Unis I am considering:
Swansea (post GCSE Biol and Chem an advantage)
Cambridge (A Level Chem essential + two from Biol, Phys and Maths)
Nottingham (non specific on A levels)
Kings College London (same policy as Notts on A levels)
I know I am being ambitious, but accepting defeat never got anyone far! Opinions/thoughts are most welcome!
