Hi
We’re currently 2/3 of the way through year 12 but I’ve been considering changing my options for a long time. This is because I’ve been studying Biology, Maths and French but I want to apply for medicine at uni. I found a few medical schools that would potentially accept me without Chemistry but recently I’ve really been considering going to London for uni because I adore the city, it’s an easy enough commute to home and I could go there with my twin, but the majority of the medical schools there all require A-Level Chemistry.
In year 11, I asked my school to study chemistry at A Level but they told me I couldn’t because it clashes on the timetable with maths so I wouldn’t be able to do both, and so I stuck to doing maths instead of chemistry. So thanks to my school, I am unable to do it but if I had the choice, I would have been doing chemistry since the start of the year. So realistically, I would never be able to study both subjects at once so what I would have to do is teach myself chemistry and attend the after school sessions and try to become an A* student without being in lessons. I know I am capable of it, since I carried myself through GCSEs and walked out with all grade 9s but if I were to do this, I would probably have to drop French to manage the balance of the workload and not have 4 A Levels on the go. This would be sad, because I am a true linguist, but for uni, Chemistry is a much more required subject.
If anyone has any advice, I would be very grateful
thank you!
