Re: Retaking Year 12: 4th AS subject?I was thinking something along the lines of a Humanities or Arts-kind of subject to have a diverse range of subjects to show I'm all rounder candidate.(Original post by Myth717)
Something light and different hmm Sociology ? English ? Just to show your an all rounder candidate.
Would Philosophy & Ethics be a good choice? You know, with the medical ethics and everything? -

Re: Retaking Year 12: 4th AS subject?I wouldn't say English is a light subject either, actually. But, I wouldn't find business studies remotely interesting. So, that's a no go, too.(Original post by tanv91)

Re: Retaking Year 12: 4th AS subject?lol I'm doing English lit at A-level and trust me it is the case. For English I realised all you do is chat waffle and as long as you can convince the Examiner you know what your chatting about, thats it tbh. I pulled of an A and I'm pleased with it(Original post by tanv91)
believe me at a level that isnt the case

Re: Retaking Year 12: 4th AS subject?I take both, English is lighter than Business, in my opinion. You can blag English, you can't with Business, you need to have appropriate knowledge. Maybe that's just the teaching at my school though :P(Original post by tanv91)

OP: What interests you? Languages are tricky, but very highly valued by Unis

Re: Do you need brilliant GCSEs for medicine?along the lines that everyone else said, I had something like 1 A* 4 A's and the rest B's and C's
It meant some uni's (Birmingham, Cambridge, Penninsula(?)) where just not an option for me, but there is definitely more than 4 medical schools that didn't just write me out due to my GCSE's! -

Re: Retaking Year 12: 4th AS subject?Whatever you got good grades in at GCSE and enjoy, or think you will enjoy.
Philosophy and Ethics will certainly be interesting, although not always directly relevant. A language or a humanity would also be fine if it's something you enjoy and are likely to get a good grade in.
