    Depends on what A level u doing and what will be your likely outcome for this 2 years, and the course you want to study and which uni you want to go to.

    If you achieved 3Bs in those 3 subjects and 8+ GCSEs A*-C including math and english then you can go to Nottingham for Midwifery, they will accept any subjects except Critical thinking, general studies or Citizenship.
    According to the 2013 prospectus for Nottingham.

    Good luck

    Why would it matter if you dropped it at AS? Do you mean you haven't completed it? As in you dropped it after Jan exams?

    I'm going to Nottingham this September to study Midwifery if i get the grades. I dropped maths after AS (got a B) and am doing Biology, Psychology and English Language A Levels. As long as you have 3 good A levels you'll be fine Nottingham ask for preferably Biology. Human Biology should be fine but i'd double check. Good luck!
