    why dont u kiss my As** and shut the hec up ..you obviously dont know much...What I am syaing here is that Biology is important for medical schools and even more important when you get into medical school.....is that misleading.....

    Go masturbate or something.....
    Don't know much? Of course not, I just applied and got into medical school without knowing anything at all :rolleyes:


    If anyone needs to masturbate to relieve some tension, then it's you - you're getting extremely worked up!

    This thread says it all. For Oxbridge/Imperial/ UCL, just take your Biology to A2.

    You won't go wrong that way.

    Nowhere only requires biology. Chemistry is compulsory everywhere.
    While I realise what I said was wrong, this statement is wrong too. For example, Newcastle allow people to have ONLY Biology OR Chemistry, as long as they have the other one at Grade A at GCSE.

    I suggest you shut the F***K up... UEA made a big mistake of accepting you... they will see that, sooner or later....

    OP - I think you will seriously limit the no of places you can apply w/out any biology. At least do AS biology

    people learn something before writing ****. Many universities require you to take biology, yet for instance cambridge will make offer to applicants that have math, physics and chemistry HL.
