Can you get into med school with chemistry as your only science?

But for Leeds you need, Bio or Chem plus another science such as Maths or Physics and third A Level being anything else.

That link that was listed was for 2021 entry so make sure to double check on the med school's websites that they are the same for 2022 but with those A levels you can do:
Manchester
Plymouth
Sheffield
Kent and Medway
Leicester
Keel
Lancaster
UEA
Newcastle

Yes like I said above with Chem you will require another science as well (which you already have as you are thinking of doing Psychology) plus whatever you want for the third A Level.

Need to take Plymouth off there, as they require Biology, though are happy for a 2nd science to be Psychology :smile:
Leeds are a bit ambiguous and @Usernamesaredum should clarify their combination with them. @TCL do you know if Leeds are happy with only one science, as long as it is Chemistry? Website says "A-level: AAA including Chemistry or Biology. Physics or Maths must also be offered if Chemistry is not taken"
