Ah but we do bite . Just joking the more the merrier right? So welcome!!!

Thanks

So what a-levels are you thinking of doing?

I really don't understand why you guys are worried. I totally understand why you'd be like, "there is so much work to do when I get to A-level". But considering you want to be Doctors/Dentists... Personally a Medic, I would have thought you would have embraced studying four of your Favouite subjects? I can't wait to not have to do Vile Welsh First Language! And disgusting Business Studies:") Which one of the four: biology, chemistry, physics and maths will you guys drop?

i am, i think understandably, nervous as everyone says the jump for gcse to a level is so big and the standard so much higher at the same time i am exceptionally excited to only be studying subjects i love and have no more english/history/german/re/pe/psychology! ill definitely drop further maths after As, and if i drop another either maths or physics, i guess ill have to see how they go!

Hi everyone, I know this thread is for medical hopefuls in year 11 but I'm in year 13, got an offer for medicine at Birmingham (A*AA), waiting to here back from the others.
Just wanted to advise you all :
1) try and organise some work experience for summer and if you can organise a long term volunteering placement starting after exams - you sorta have to have one of these to talk about at interview and the longer you've been doing it the more impressive it is. You're probably too young to go into hospitals but GPs and nursing homes are a good place to start!
2) you don't have to do maths chemistry biology physics for a-level! I did maths chemistry biology and French but don't make the mistake so many people make and feel you have to do maths because a-level maths is hard! You're so much better doing chemistry and biology and 2 subjects you love and are good at and getting 4 A's (though try to make sure at least one more of them is a "facilitating subject").
Also I would not advise doing further maths unless your stuck between medicine and a maths/physics/engineering course and/or are doing 5, because i did quite a bit of research into this and the vast majority of medical schools don't count maths and further maths separately, look into the ones you are considering
3) bad gcses aren't the end of your medical career if you make up for it with good ukcat/ bmat and a really good personal statement and you apply strategically, but good gcses really do help so work hard this year!
If you've got any questions I'll be happy to answer them

Oh and where did you volunteer? I'm thinking of a care home, the nearest hospitals which do volunteering are around an hour bus/train away or longer 😢

Well, we are the first year to do them "linear". I'm not sure how it works, because you can either do an AS alone or a full a-level at the end of the two year course.

Maths is still modular, Sciences are linear (but you can choose do it as an AS only).

But Maths/Physics to AS only, not sure yet
