Did I make the right choice?

It shouldn't be a problem but it is. They are considered unrigourous and 'easy' subjects to choose.

That seemed like a racist remark but i'm a bit too happy so i'll let it go.

And I did carry on :P

It wasn't a racist remark, he was just commenting on cultural differences and stereotypes.

I'm sorry, but where's your evidence for the effect of choosing the subject?

I don't have any evidence I can jsut pull out of my hat. You are arguing for the sake of it. Why do you think medical schools ask for chemistry over biology, when a lot of the content of a biology course is more relevant? It's because it is harder. I was discussing this with an admissions officer from UCL.

No I'm not, I'm saying it's idiotic of you to advise someone not to take Media, because you think they will be rejected because of it.

It's a weak point but how many medicine graduates do you know who studied media or fil to A2 and got onto a course?

And I'm saying it's idiotic of you to argue against something you blatantly don't believe it.

We're discussing fact here, no one has said anything about the unsuitability of Media, and thus it's okay to take it. End of.

I'm sorry to be a buzz kill for your little pety argument here, but can you answer my question :P

That isn't entirely true though is it. There's maybe one module that's relevant in Biology, the rest of it is **** about plants that is neither here nor there when it comes to medicine.

If you say so.

That isn't entirely true though is it. There's maybe one module that's relevant in Biology, the rest of it is **** about plants that is neither here nor there when it comes to medicine. Just to throw another point out there, quite a few medical schools now prefer applicants to have a non-science subject in addition to their other two subjects, meaning that in this case media or film could be seen as a better choice than physics or maths.

as a side-note [because this isn't relevant to the choice of subjects debate], i have yet to understand why they teach us about plants and the breathing systems of fish.
perhaps there is a reason and i just haven't figured it out yet. [aside from the fact that not everyone who takes biology is a potential medic].

PMS prefer their applicants not to have three sciences, so surely media is better than physics, no? OP, you chose the right one, you'll do better in physics, reduces the pressure on you next year.

Yes, if they ask for one not to science, media is better than physics. But equally, almost any other language or arts subject is better than media.

I'm sure media is probably quite a heavily essay based subject, so surely it is just as relevant as any other essay subject. And it's definitely a much better choice than something like Art/Textiles/Design or anything else similarly creative
