    would a university accept me with these highers for a medicine degree?
    so, in fifth year i am doing the following highers-modern studies,history,chemistry,englis h and art.
    in sixth year i want to do-human biology,advanced modern studies and psychology.
    providing(fingers crossed) i achieve good passes at these subjects,will a medical school consider me eventhough i haven't done higher maths or physics?
    do you really need to be exceptionally talented mathematically to do well at medical school? some people have informed me that most of the degree is chemistry and biology based.
    if i get an intermediate 2 maths pass in s4 will that be acceptable?
    thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question,much appreciated

    You need AAAAB at least in one sitting, i.e in fifth year
    Including chemistry, biology (human biologys okay) and EITHER maths or physics
    You can take biology in sixth year as long as you get AAAAB in 5th year
