What A levels do I choose to become a doctor?

I got my form so do I choose Biology and Chemistry and leave physics because people told me its for geography and engineering. I will also take maths and another one, so are these choices the ideal ones to become a doctor in the future?
@Awesome Genius Help me out please or anyone else who knows.

Biology and Chemistry are a must, and so is maths, so those would be the three you take to full A Level, and physics is helpful, but if I were you I'd take those three and choose one you like, as you can always drop it after a year (If that's how your sixth form do it) or continue it and have one good subject that's a light relief, those three subjects are hard and it will be a lot of work (In the first week my school was setting 4 hour biology assignments!!) and it's nice to have one subject that lets you relax (For example I'm taking history, psychology, economics and photography and photography is a good way to de-stress as those others are hard work and lots of essays,)

I'm not applying for medicine, but I know many people who are and who have in the past, and have medical parents.
As mentioned above, biology and chemistry are vital. Maths or physics would also be beneficial, even necessary, in showing a dedication to and aptitude for scientific subjects. As for your fourth, it isn't as important. It might be preferable to choose something well-respected and 'traditional', but this shouldn't be a key consideration; it's much more important that you receive a high grade. I know people applying with (as a fourth A-level or AS) Ancient Greek, English lit., music or physics, all of whom are receiving interviews (and, in my view, likely to get offers). The best advice is just to choose a fourth subject that you're likely to enjoy and do well at.

bruh

i wanted to do med when I was your age

did bio, chem, phys, computing

got BCCB at AS (almost died for those grades) so now i can't unless i get like A*s and As this year to pull my grades up which ain't gonna happen

Thank you, I was thinking of choosing buisness studies but I didnt take it as a GCSE

Thanks I will see what I enjoy, I was thinking of buisness or finance but I dont know anyting about them.

No, I will do it. I believe I can get far with them.

As long as you have chemistry and biology it doesn't matter what your third and fourth are.



For the one millionth time on TSR, maths IS NOT NEEDED FOR MEDICINE!!!!!!! Unless you want to apply to Cambridge. And physics is in no way helpful in a medical degree.

I googled it, it is at many universities

No, I will do it. I believe I can get far with them.

No it isn't. Bio or chem are the ones needed. Not maths.

I'm pretty uni websites and also the admissions officer at my school, who won't let people apply for medicine without maths as they'll get rejected, would know :/

No, they're wrong, and you're wrong. Please stop promoting this misunderstanding, thanks

(The med school websites say no such thing fyi).

As far as I can tell, this seems to be the case. What they do say, however (this, for the OP to help in his decision making, is from UCL) is:

Some preference will be given to applicants who offer a contrasting subject at AS/A-level. In this context a contrasting subject is one outside the traditional science subjects of Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Examples of contrasting subjects: English Literature, History, Geography, Art, Music, Religious Studies, Design and Technology, a foreign language.

So you might want to look into one of these?
