A level Geography

Would a good grade at A-level in geography show that I am capable of writting/have good essay writting skills? ... I wan't to do medicine btw and will already have a levels in sciences and maths!

thanks for any help :smile:

The main thing for medicine is that you have the relevant sciences that they ask for, assuming you're doing Chemistry and Biology (and maths which ties on nicely) you should be fine in terms of the 'right subjects'.

As for geography A-level, you do write a lot of essays! Especially at A2 level, 40 mark essays, 40 marks!! Geography is a great subject and covers a nice broad range of topics, and in some cases biology/ chem will compliment some of the physical aspects. I recommend taking it if you're looking for a good essay based subject!
