    Thank you for this, I have been considering picking Further Maths next year, but as many med schools don't see it as a separate subject, i'd be narrowing down my options unless I pick it as a 5th, but then 5 AS levels are not needed so would be unnecessary extra work! Can't make my mind up haha, but thanks!

    I still think it would be best to not narrow down your options at all if you can help it.

    yeah that's why i decided on picking Physics over latin as my fourth AS, I enjoy both equally, but physics keeps more paths open.

    Sheffield will also accept further maths as a 4th A2 subject.

    (Or at least that's what I've been told from their admissions board)

    I found this online - it was June 2011 requirements, so not quite up to date and seems very clear and concise so I though I'd post it so that people could get an idea of what the different medical schools require/accept:

    I hope it's helpful

    this is true - I have an unconditional with further maths as my fourth a2 as further maths.

    But a lot of places will accept further as a fourth a2 its just it won't be counted in an offer. At least that's how I understood it.

    you could take further maths on as an AS, may boost your UCAS score and isnt really too much extra time if youre good at maths
