A level Chemistry.

I need to apply to my college choices by tonight. I was hoping to do Chemistry AS but the entry specifications include a B in maths. I'm currently predicted a C in maths. Is it worth applying for chemistry then?

I am applying for my A level choices. I originally had my heart set on being a midwife as I didn't think I had the grades to be a doctor or go to medical school, but I worked really hard in my GCSE Mocks to see what I was capable of and got an A* in additional science (A* biology A* chemistry A physics) and now I know that I can work that hard I am starting to wonder if I should do chemistry a level. I want honest opinions on how hard it is and if it's possible but with hard work?

you need to be good at maths to do chemistry at least get an A at gcse...i got an A* and struggle, i wouldnt do it if i was you but thats just my opinion

The most complex maths you ever need in Chemistry A Level, is rearranging very simple formulae and the conversion of units. That's a B grade standard for GCSE at the most.
No need to go putting people off, if you got an A* at GCSE maths and struggle then you're doing something very wrong.

I do have another question, say I don't get in but I already chose it, what are my options now on enrolment day. Do I pick something else that isn't very well subscribed?

They might let you in if you miss one grade. If they don't, usually they can deal with one extra person on a course, so you could just switch to another A-level that you got the grades for.

I think you should do A-level chemistry if you enjoy chemistry, there is very little maths in the first year. There is a lot more in the second year, but I think it is doable with GCSE knowledge.


Also, applications are usually sent by post, so if that's the case, then you've missed the deadline. They will usually still consider you, but it would have been better to get it in on time.

No my school is using UCAS progress, all online. Waiting for form tutors reference and it will all be submitted.
