Considering medicine without biology

i hate it when people jumping on the bandwagon so late get offers over people that have wanted to do it since high school/early primary school.

I didn't have biology but I still received 2 offers for Medicine this year. It's not that important though you have to be careful about where you apply. For example, Oxbridge doesn't officially require biology at A level but they hardly interview those without. (that's what I read on the Oxford website)

It's a bit like considering History without History...
It would have been better off to take Biology.

How is it? Chemistry is the main A-level required for Medicine, not Biology.

Yes, it is. However, Biology goes along with it.

If you want to apply to universities which require it, yes. I still wouldn't say it was like applying for History without A-level History.

It's still better off to take A-level Biology, as well. Let's say it's kind of a plus for some medical schools!
However, as you said, it depends on where you apply and how fierce the competiton for places in the MBChB program is.

I'm doing medicine and did not do biology. Just apply to med schools that don't ask for it - with the exception of Oxbridge they don't seem to ask science-related questions at interview. If you want to apply to Oxbridge, grab a few biology textbooks (I recommend the thin Alberts book and the thick IB Biology one) and start reading; that will be a fun summer.
