It says you need maths at grade B.

I know but when they went on the open day they said some people take it during that year, but only if you have english at grade b or above. Ive been to the open days, spoke to the admission tutors..but want to know the outside opinion on the course! not stating a fact...

ive already got the grades

why would there be no point? im not going to get into medicine as i havn't got a) gcse maths at grade b, b) chemistry at a-level c) biology a-level to an a grade....so this seems a good route...

If you can't hack AS Chemistry, how do you expect to do a degree in Medicine. I do believe that Medicine contains a lot of it. Maybe the current Medics could agree/disagree with me to give a more informed post.

not a case of not being able to hack it just preferred other subjects

I was after HELPFUL advice...I got an A in as chemistry but dropped it as at the time i decided not to do medicine as i saw it as a waste of time that i wouldnt get in etc as i didnt think i'd get a b in biology

Without wanting to steal the current medic's thunder or whatnot, from what I've understood over the years both on here and in open days and whatnot is that chemistry really doesn't play that much of an important role in Medicine...
