Physics - a needed A level for Med? =\

Those A-Level choices are too sciencey try and do a art subject such as english or history i know its not needed but it will play in your advantage but chem and bio are must haves maths AS would be advised

it's not required anywhere. if you're not very good at it, it'll have a negative impact on your other subjects. i did philosophy and italian (albeit with maths as well) and i don't think it makes you less serious by any means. choose subjects that you're good and and that you'll enjoy, that's how you do well at a level.

Ha thats exactly my current AS levels as i think ive said to u before

a slight bit of advice ... Physics is VERY maths heavy and im no good at maths either so its abit annoyin!

im hopin to take on another AS next yr cos im not gona do very well in physics this yr!

and i want to do medicine aswell!

Psychology rocks thou my best subject by a long shot!

Are you finding physics difficult? what grade did you get at maths gcse?

Well, some unis say they want Chem,Bio and Physics OR Maths ..Cambridge for example, even though I do not want to go there..

no they don't.... you can still apply to cambridge, not all colleges have equal requirements, you just need to choose a college that only asks for two. there are many.

do you have another example?? some places ask for them at AS if you failed to get a or sometimes an A at GSCE. however, if you can't do that at GCSE, i would advise leaving it, you'll find it really hard at AS if you're not interested and aren't very good at it. give yourself a break and stop reading so much into it all.

blah what i wrote didn't make sense there i mean "a B or sometimes an A"

erm if you're no good at maths and physics i would just forget about them. people at my school did history with italian, psychology with english, history with RS.

what do you like? what are you good at? you should do things that fit into both categories. you should be capable of an A in whichever subjects you choose or you've made a bad choice.

Expectations and preferences

All Colleges strongly prefer applicants to have Chemistry A level.

All Colleges prefer applicants to have two science/mathematics subjects at A level – note that most applicants for Medicine and Veterinary Medicine at Cambridge have at least three science/mathematics A levels. Applicants with two science/mathematics A levels will be expected to have scientific ability comparable with those who are taking three and will, wherever possible, be considered equally with them.

The following Colleges prefer applicants to have three science/mathematics subjects at A level: Christ’s, Jesus, Magdalene, Newnham, St John’s, Trinity. In the case of Magdalene, this must include A level Mathematics.

Colleges (except Christ's, St John's and Trinity) will, exceptionally, consider applicants taking only one science subject at A level, provided this subject is Chemistry. In this case you will still be expected to show a very high level of scientific ability. You are likely to be disadvantaged in all Colleges when compared with those of comparable ability taking more science/mathematics A levels.
