Aaah NatSci at Cambridge is like my dream course 
It's the main reason I don't really want to do Medicine any more!! It's so versatile and there's maths modules (love maths) and Materials Sciences sounds so cool.. but I know it's going to be so hard to get in :/ not good!

My geography isn't that great on the other side of Birmingham from me so I'll give up.

You guys don't?! I prefer it.
There are 5 flies in my room right now guys, help they won't go away. D:

I'm doing Chemistry, Biology, Maths and French (oh and critical thinking)
Not sure exactly which uni I want to go to, but I definitely want to do medicine!
What are you doing?
Is anybody hoping to apply for Medicine at Imperial College London/UCL for 2015 entry?

Maths, F.Maths, French, History, English Lit. I'm hoping to do PPE, but as all the advice on what A-Levels to take differed so much, I just went with lots of very academic subjects I enjoyed!
Any other prospective PPE-ists?

Im hopefully doing Biology, Chemistry, English lit and Spanish. I then want to do medicine at university. What about you?
Medicine and i currently have:
Maths,further maths,physics,computing
But i'm not sure about switching chemistry for computing and whether to add biology/which to swap it for :/

I'm considering PPE, but I don't know if I'll be (or my subjects will be) good enough.
I'm taking Maths, History, Economics and Product Design. I really like Product Design and I'm also considering Industrial Design at uni, hence the reason I'm taking it. I'll also probably take Critical Thinking provided my school let me (you have to have no Cs to do it - I'm not predicted any but these things still happen).Original post by benwalters1996

I would definitely consider switching for chemistry because a lot of units want you to have chemistry at A level plus another science

Well of course they want 5A*-C, you probably wouldn't get into Sixth Form without that!
Yes, we're getting more globalised, but technology is also improving. Research from Microsoft and Google could make it unnecessary to learn languages within the next, to be lenient, 20 years. If languages are so important now, why isn't Mandarin being taught as much? That's the most spoken first language in the world, followed by Spanish. French is no way near as widely spoken as Spanish is, yet it still remains one of the most popular GCSE languages. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Mandarin is mainly spoken in China though, which is a Less Economically Developed Country so the uses of Mandarin are pretty low even though it is the most spoken language around the world.French is taught more than Spanish because France is closer to Spain so it is thus more important for us to learn French but it will become more important to learn Spanish in the future and this reflected in a rise in Spanish A-Level and drop in French and German A-Levels as shown by the A-Level popularity figures released today.

Those are not A-Levels for Medicine-if you want to do medicine you must do Chemistry, I am not even sure there is a single university who will allow applicants for medicine to not have Chemistry A-level where as you can get away with not doing Biology at some universities.
On another note, those are the A-Levels I think I will be doing I wanted to do Economics instead of Computing but Economics is in the same block as Further Maths so I don't think I'll be able to take it unless I can sort something out when I enroll with my college.

China is not a LEDC. It is a Newly industrialised country with just some areas that are quite poor.
