A-Level Choices

Original post by Serenaaa

I am currently deciding on my A-Level choices, and I want to do medicine. Are Biology, Chemistry, Philosophy and English suitable choices?

Yeah, they're perfectly fine :yy:

Did you consider a third science or maths. It's not too necessary though

Well I am doing maths this year, but I can't do physics for my life, so I think that I should only do it to GCSE level! :s-smilie:

They are looking pretty decent. Have you thought about maths?

Well I'm doing maths this year, but my main worry is whether or not to do Physics, because I am really rubbish at it! :confused:

As everyone else has said, yes, they're fine for medicine.

Make sure you get the best grades you can this year and aim for four A's in your AS levels. :smile:

I'd say swap Philosophy for Maths, just to have a claim to doing 3 sciences :smile:

(Medicine is competitive).

It'd make no difference if the OP had Maths instead of Philosophy unless they were applying to Cambridge. No need to take three science subjects :nah:

Yes, they're fine. I approve of the philosophy choice.

All the people from my College that got into Medicine last year, had Maths at A2. I just assumed that it increased ones chances of getting in.

And all the people who got in at mine last time round didn't :wink:

It doesn't increase chances at all tbh.

Interesting... Maybe my surroundings are a bit too science biased. But I've even looked at stats like "Which? Uni", (was helping out a friend which their choices) most common subjects before attending Uni for Medicine are Maths, Chemistry, Biology for all Unis I've looked at.
