Subject choices ???

Hi I'm currently making my GCSE subject choices and so far it looks like:
Maths
English lit
English Lang
R. E.
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
History
Music
French
After this I want to take another language but I'm stuck between Spanish and Latin. In the future I want to study medicine or another science subject at Oxford. Which do you think I should choose? Thanks
Personally Id go for Latin then you have a classical and modern language. Plus any Latin names in medicine should be easier for you to remember!

Latin
Spanish for sure. Might actually be useful to you.

Academically and in terms of university applications it really won't matter. Whichever one will get you a better grade.

Spanish would definitely be more useful.

Spanish would be far more useful to you in the long run. Even if you do study medicine, Latin GCSE will be of little use.

This might be a personal thing then, I apologise! For me I find it easier to learn spellings/names of things if I have some knowledge of the language/similar languages and so I applied this to the situation. Everyone is of course different! :yes:
