I hate as biology

Does this mean I will hate doing medicine, or is it that when you get there different. Obviously this question goes out to those who are currently doing medicine and have done Biology at A level.
Thanks

Half of AS biology is to do with plants and animals, so no.

Nope, medicine is medicine and biology is biology.

Sure there are some overlaps, but A levels have very little in common with medical school :smile:

Then again the human biology concepts from A level i found very similar to pre-clinical medicine.

It depends. If it's the human biology bits that you're finding boring then yeah, you might not enjoy medicine much. I didn't like AS biology much either as it was all a bit plant and animal-ly, but A2 had a module on the human brain and it was all just a lot more enjoyable.

I bloody hated unit 2, and unit 4, ESPECIALLY the ecology oh god that was so crap, I'm loving unit 5 as its a lot of stuff about the body, just grit your teeth, learn it and regurgitate the information in the exams.
