Getting an offer for Medicine,with only AS Chemistry?

Hi
I really want to do Medicine, and be a doctor. I'm in Year 11 at the moment. I was looking at university requirements,and some unis -Barts,for one ,I think- says it accepts at least Chemistry or Biology at AS ,if the other is at A2.

But has anyone ever gotten an offer with this? I am fully aware that just because it's the lowest open offer,doesnt mean people who offer that get places.
Thanks.
AF

yes, people get offers like that all the time. just try and get an A or B in the AS as some want specific grades if one isnt continued.

Why are you considering only taking one of them to AS if you're still only in year 11 and haven't even seen what they are like?
Yes it is possible to get in with one at AS, but to give yourself the best possible chance and open up more options for yourself you need to be doing them both to A2 if you have the opportunity to.
