Picking Advanced highers

Going into s6 next year and going for medicine. I got 5As in prelims with 3 being physics chemistry and maths. I dont do biology and its required for glasgow so i think ill take it at higher next year, it seems at least 2 adv highers are required so im thinking of maths adv and physics adv but we have the opportunity to take 4 subjects and a lot of english unis value advanced higher the same as a levels so want advanced chemistry. Im not the best at chemistry but i got my A in the prelim, is it worth taking advanced physics, maths, chemistry and higher biology in order to keep the option of english unis available pr will it be overwhelming. Im very strong in maths but physics and chemistry and bio would need attention to get As

I'd recommend you look at the entry requirements for medical schools you are interested in. From a quick look, some of the English unis are fine with two AH. The ones I found that looked for three were looking for Biology as one of the subjects, so no use to you.

I think most schools would recommend 3 AH or 2 plus highers (and might not be able to timetable more). You'll need top grades so don't spread yourself too thin.

Found this webpage where you can see the entry requirements for all medical schools.

There's also useful threads in student room where you can get advice on schools to apply to, depending on your grades/test scores etc.

As someone who’s doing Ah bio and chem two advanced highers is plenty especially if you’re taking a higher as well, I think you would spread yourself thin doing all those.
Unless you are very confident in your physics and chemistry I don’t recommend.
Also usually for English schools they are happy with 5highers and two advanced highers or at least the ones I applied to were

hey i’m in the same boat, never done biology but crashing higher next year. going to take AH chem physics and maths, from what I’ve gauged from entry requirements I think it’s a pretty good idea to take ah chemistry especially if you don’t have biology yet as it’s probably just as important
