*MEGATHREAD* - The 'What Subjects Should I Do' Megathread

AAA at A level. Subjects should include Chemistry and/or Biology at A or AS level. If only one of Biology and/or Chemistry is offered at A or AS level, the other should be offered at GCSE grade A (or Dual Award Science grade A). We do not accept General Studies or Critical Thinking as an A level entry qualification.

Oh and I dont believe you need 3 sciences for the majority of the medicine courses

you DO NOT need three sciences at all. some places will actually accept you with only one newcastle for example



OP id add another AS into that combination as alot of places expect it however if you school only allows 3 then they seem fine

yeah like i said they say they accept 2 sciences, but rarely you see places being given out to people who have only done 2 sciences. it really does increase your chances if you do 3-4 sciences.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong. Wrong information like this causes people to make unnecessary choices.

Here's a list of medical schools and what subjects they typically want:

In fact, UCL for example says:

"Some preference will be given to candidates whose third A-level or additional AS-level is outside the traditional science subjects of Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics."

!!!

read my comment correctly, i didn't say they don't accept 2 sciences but they definitely prefer 3-4 sciences.

Biology, Chemistry and Geography.
Sound good for Medicine?

If not, any subject you would add or take away?

you don't know what you're talking about.

Also in reply to the banter above, I have looked around at several universities, including, UCL, Kings College, Leicester and Nottingham, all say Chemistry is a must with Biology preferred at A-Level.
