I am currently in year 13 studying Maths, FM, chemistry and physics and looking at studying medicine at university however am having some issues in choosing a 5th backup option. I want to do mathematics (or theoretical physics) but because my personal statement is only medical dont know if this is likely or achievable especially if I want to go to a decent university. Got 3300 on UCAT so pretty confident of getting at least interviews for medical schools but still want to get this right.
Is maths a reasonable backup option for medicine? Will having a medical personal statment reduce my chances of getting an offer to maths courses? Is it unrealistic to try to get into a higher ranked uni for a maths backup course?
Thanks.
