Which is better?

I am planning to study medicine and want to know which A- Level is good for getting an 'A' grade in and looks 'good' on the applications:

A-Level Psychology or
A-Level Religious Studies or
A-Level ICT

help is appreciated.
Thanks

The one you would be happiest studying, would enjoy more and are most likely to get an A in...

agreed - i wish i hadnt done maths at A level i had no hope in hell of getting an A or a B for that matter.
I think psychology is of most use if you're interested in medicine. RS seems like a waste of time but I'm just being biased there.
Whichever you feel you'd more likely get the A in. Out of interest, what other subjects have you chosen?

I did RS with Maths, Chem and Bio :smile: It was a good combo, I enjoyed the debating (the RS course was philosophy + ethics rather than world religions) and made me think of the ethical side to medicine.
RS is good because there's plenty of medical ethics in all courses. Psychology is good because you also have to do psychology. ICT is good because using a computer is essential in modern medicine. So all have aspects about them that would help you with the course but it really doesn't matter. My personal preference would be RS but that's me.

I'd also say RS is a good choice cos of ethics/morals...even if not just for admissions but will help you in the course too...

Whichever you are most likely to get an A in. I did history (nothing to do with med) and would have got an A* if they were being used now (i'm assuming an A* is 90%)

Or do you mean YOU didn't/don't like it and YOU didn't/don't find it easy? My brother, who has no interested in academia what so ever, found it a breeze but I guess that's how he is wired...

Why do I know people who don't think it's hell? Not sure - do you believe in God? I guess it could be his doing! :wink:
