I know I can get a B at the end of AS by doing maybe one or two resits next year as well, but the majority of unis only want a B at AS, so why risk carrying it into A2 and let it affect my other subjects as well if that makes sense. If I do carry it on unis are going to turn around and say 3 As inc. Bio and Chem., and I'd rather put the pressure off myself and just apply to unis that don't want Biology at all or only require a B/C at AS. There's quite a few actually.

Not very good ones. Sadly my parents have already classed.me as a flop.

Really? I'm surprised, because all the people I know who are going to do medicine have all studied biology. But surely, the unis will give more priority to those who actually studied biology? I don't know, I could be wrong.
But if that's what you really want to do then it's your choice, but just be sure. You should talk to your adviser at your college or sixth form.

Manchester or somewhere else. If I get good grades, I'm hoping there'll be places at a better uni.

May I ask a question?

Isn't it most unis expect chemistry and biology at AS and then chemistry and either biology or maths at A2? Obviously most people take biology, but I don't think it will put Potential Medic at a disadvantage if they have maths instead so long as they can get AAA at A2.

Ohh that's good!!

Umm yes? Lol

Are you an international student? I swear you said you were from Chennai?

O.O

Amma da kannu soukyamthan? (lol FAIL)

I'm sure your choices are fine. Economics sounds great and is super competitive to get into. My friend applied for this summer school and there was like 300 that applied for Economics and only 40 got in.

Nononooooo am not an international student. Lol

I was born here in the UK.
But my parents were born in Chennai so that's why I said I come from Chennai.

But the thing is they'd prefer a lab based science in it's place. Do you physics?
Also the unis that don't ask for biology are still applied for by students with biology A2. Even if they say it doesn't disadvantage, it actually does and I'm pretty sure admissions will prefer the A2 biologist especially as biology is the biggest component in Medicine.

Really wow! May I ask what sort of grades they are predicted and where they are going to study Medicine? I'm thinking mostly Londonish, but my parents want me to stay in West Midlands. Apparently if they set something as a minimum requirement they can't discriminate you against that afterwards as in they'll have to focus on other elements of the application instead e.g. UKCAT and interview. I've talked to my head of sixth form and it was him who suggested me to drop it, because unis require two sciences to A2 and luckily they accept Maths as a science and he knows why exactly I'm struggling with Biology (extenuating circumstances)and he said he'll mention that on my reference. Hopefully it'll be okay, but obviously I won't know until I've applied and got the uni decisions back.

looooool....i thought u tamils wer fake buh u proved me wrong shaxx....
so what year u in???

Oh my bad. No wonder, there was me thinking they do Edexcel A-levels in India.
