Something to do with healthcare; medicine, optometry, dietetics, dentistry... that kind of thing. Hopefully with those a-levels I'll be able to leave all those options open.

That's what I'm thinking too! I love biology, but I hate chemistry :s-smilie: I'm still not really certain about law Vs biomed, but I'm a bit more on the biomed side.
Taking english and german will keep the law window open if I try to kill myself over chemistry or something
IF I go into biomed, I'd either to dentistry, medicine or veterinary :smile:

Why do you want to do biomed first?
Yeah, to be honest though for law you can literally do whatever a-levels you like if they're respected, academic ones. Which is good. :smile:
Erm I find chem difficult at times, and I love human biology but not all the animals/ecosystems stuff heh.

I want to do biomed firs because I'm not smart enough to go straight into medicine haha
Plus, drug research for medical purposes looks really interesting. So if I love the degree and somehow end up on a grad programme for some drug place, I'd be fine. But I've always wanted to work in a hospital :smile:

Well, I'm not sure if I'm smart enough but I hope I will be if I work hard. What are your GCSE predictions/targets?
Thing is grad medicine is like suuuuuper competitive.

I still think I'm not smart enough for biomed though, let alone chemistry a level....
I'm predicted like 3 A's, 5 B's and the rest C's. I didn't work too hard in year 10, only for things like coursework and actual exams that meant something. I'm predicted a B in English, yet all my coursework has been A-A* because I worked my butt off. The C's are in maths and RE, but somehow I moved up a set this year. In year 9 I was in the foundation set, so I got the C benchmark, then moved up in year 10 and now I'm moving up again :biggrin:
Yeaaaah I know, but I'll see if I can get enough experience. I have some contacts, and I'll work on developing those :smile:
Hey guys, I'm a year 11 (or is it 12 now :tongue:) and I like stalking other people's threads (:colone:) so feel free to ask if you want any help with anything :smile:
