Yeah, I understand that Philosophy is on a totally different scale to sciences. Yeah, I think psychology will be best to be fair, not in regards to what is 'a stronger subject' as mentioned by someone else, but something I'll enjoy more and do better in. It's not all about the grades, I want to enjoy myself too.
So thank you for your replies, you have been very helpful.
Thank you for your reply. I can sense you have a passion for philosophy haha.
I'm not bothered about what is required a stronger subject, I'd rather take something I enjoy over something which looks better. It's not all about the stronger subjects, etc. I shadowed a medical student who had taken Biology, Chemistry, PE and Art. They got in fine, with no questions about their chosen subjects, they respected it more that he had chosen subjects he enjoyed, it gave him an advantage over everyone else who studied the same subjects.
I'm not doing Maths because I know for a fact I will not do well in it. It's not capability problems, etc. If I put my head down and tried to do well I know I could, I just don't have the mind for it, I can't sit down and learn it, it has to be within some sort of context. I understand that A level Physics is strongly mathematically oriented however, like I said I can handle when it's being put into context.
I appreciate your reply, however I disagree with your approach to medicine. You're right, those subjects are highly respected in some medical schools. However, most only require chemistry and biology to a certain extent, well, the medical schools I will be applying to only require those anyway.
Newcastle, Durham, Leicester, etc.
Thank you for your insight, I'm going to check out both Philosophy and Psychology at the upcoming open day event.
