Anyone doing Biological Sciences, what were your AS grades?

And what subjects were they in?

I currently have
A- Biology
A- Economics
B- Maths
C- Chemistry (one UMS of a B)

I'm undecided about whether to drop maths or economics for A2
My As grades AABCC
in bio,maths,history,German and chem
offer AAA
grades achieved AABB 0 somehow i still got a place - i am lucky.
in bio chem maths and history (two grade improvement wow I know for chem)
so yes you could get an offer do you have a GCSE in a language? UCL love languges

AS: AABB in bio, physics, chemistry and maths (dropped the maths)
offer was AAA
grades achieved A*A*A
UCL didn't seem bothered about me dropping maths if that helps?
If you can get your predicted grade high enough for chemistry, then you're definitely in with a chance! :smile:

Yeah the fact that they didn't mind you dropping maths does help :smile: Although I suppose physics is better than economics so I guess it wouldn't be the same for me.
Thank you! :smile:

Well bio and chem definitely count for a biological sciences application, but to be honest I don't think it really matters what your third subject is, plus isn't economics counted as a science too? So you're definitely not at a disadvantage having economics, its very well respected. :smile:
Doing statistics helps a lot when you start doing research and data analysis. I dunno how much of that there is in economics, but it might be worth considering.
