Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Chemistry, biology, psychology a levels for medicine?

Do I stand a good chance of being accepted into med school doing chemistry, biology and psychology ?

Does picking 3 pure sciences e.g. biology chemistry physics affect how universities see your application?

Should I consider Physics instead of Psychology?

Most unis just want chemistry and biology. So you'll be perfectly fine with those choices.

I did biology, chemistry and music. Music isn't your typical A Level for a med applicant and I got 3 interviews

Med schools don't generally care about your 3rd A level unless you're going for Oxbridge. As long as you get the A*AA/AAA at the end, your 3rd choice doesn't matter. I don't think I did anything special to convince the interviewers that I had the potential to becoming a great doctor, the application process is very tough but survivable. If you need any help regarding PS, interviews or anything else, feel free to PM me.
