Advice please - Medicine

Hi guys,

I’m currently in Year 12 and I’m getting really stressed because people keep telling me I will not get into medicine with my A-level subjects. For A-levels, I’m doing Biology, Chemistry, Theology and Economic as well as an EPQ which I will do on Medical ethics. I haven’t taken Maths, Further Maths or Physics and that’s why people are saying this. For GCSE’s I received 10 9s. Would you say that because I’m not doing Maths, it’s impossible to get into Medicine and would you say having Oxbridge aspirations is unrealistic? Thanks so much!

You'll be fine everywhere except Cambridge, I believe.

Yeah Cambridge is the only medical school that requires biology and chemistry +maths/physics. I've actually never heard of theology A-level tho. A good UCAT/BMAT score is more important. The good news for OP is that Oxford is quite GCSE heavy but bad news is they have less places than Cambridge.

Thanks so much!

Remembrt all medicine degrees are equivalent - Oxbridge is irrelevant.

Theology is religious studies. I took it because I'm quite interested in it. Do you think doing theology and economics could make me look unsure of Medicine? I'm committed but enjoy these subjects too. Thanks so much!
