I salute you bro :biggrin:

Medicine scares me though, competitiveness and blood don't go together well :nope:

Natural science or philosophy(probably natural science). That's where it's at :smile:

Tbh medicine is starting to scare me too with all the fierce competition that comes with it. I'm torn sometimes between my interest for economics and my love for medicine and science. Guess I'll make my final decision in a years time :redface:

Depends on whether or not i do what's smarter to take or what i think I'd fall in love with school if i take-I'm gonna hage to choose by tomorrow as it's induction day so it'll be a spur of the moment thing :biggrin:

Either:

Can you explain that interst for economics to me please? :smile:

Don't be put off by it, just rise to the challenge, fly off iof the rife competition and just out do ever last one of those mtherfckers (sorry charlotte :wink:

).
That scares me though, a year-olser me isn't wise/organised/ enough to apply to cambridge, especially for as eccentric as philosophy :tongue:

How about I'll see how late I can stay up? :wink:

haha, same, I forget the day and I forget the date :lol:

I think I'd lean towards the what you think you'll love one but it's quite a gamble :redface:

maybe the spontaneity of your decision will mean you pick the better option :biggrin:

we've already established you're a very decisive person :lol:

Don't diss my choices :hand:

still sticking with geography although depending on results I may switch to further maths :lol:

I find economics interesting because its a subject that concerns everyone in one way or another. Other than that my brother was an economics graduate and I used to read over his work and I loved it. I've always found that the students who want to apply to medicine think they are superior to others (no offence to anyone here) and it really pisses me off. Btw i read a bit of philosophy :biggrin:

Cambridge doesn't offer Chemistry on its own xD If I do natural science, I can do modules of chemistry and eventually specialise in my 3rd year :biggrin:

Ahh I see! Sounds like a great idea :biggrin:

have you always had a fascination with sciences or is it something that you've developed over GCSEs??

Damn, the pressure's on, let's do this! :wink:

Ahh but my future is only guaranteed if I can get into med school in the first place so.. :redface:

but I can see how that'd make your decision difficult. Have you researched potential career choices with the degree? Philosophy right? Or maybe look into options where you do one main degree but have a mini degree on the side - I think it's called a joint honours or something? And look into universities to see if they can offer something like that :smile:

You should have wenton and gone deep with it, you could have persuaded me for it :wink:

it sounds pretty cool now :smile:

i always just saw it as working woth the boring section of numbers-like statistcs :lol:

but that sinhle dea of it being about a whole is pretty enlightening , thanks :smile:

I only know 1 med hope-to-be irl and their just driven but lack passion in my eyes, they more like it's a "good pay and still science so it's semi interesting so it's the wisest choice hence I'll take this course", those types of med students piss off :angry:

i have yet to meet stuck up es though but i could easily see it being true :/ but i also know some that are prety cool and driven to help so it balances put i guess :smile:

I l've read 2full psychology texts and also two philosophy one, I'm hoping to read one philosophy book a week from a reccomended reading lkistvfor philosophy :biggrin:

it interest me so much, soem stuff goes over my head but i love that!it just captivates me in a way no other subject can :/

Accurate username! Competition shouldn't scare you, if anything it should be a motivational factor. It's good to at least have an interest in something! most people I know, don't even know what they like. You still have aaaages to decide :tongue:

who knows!

Don't be silly! Feel free to stay here, you seem nice. :tongue:

Also, Durham and a few other unis combine arts and sciences I think? I've seen people do maths and philosophy before!
