Would this put me at a disadvantage?

I have received a conditional offer from King Edward Five Ways VI for the following courses:


•

Chemistry

•

Physics

•

Biology

•

Psychology




The issue is, I had entered psychology randomly as a reserve choice with maths being my original choice.

So I was wondering, would I still be able to compete for place at a medical school without maths or would I be overlooked for someone who has?

Also, is Psychology a good subject to do if I'm looking for a career in science and how well suited is it towards becoming a doctor or surgeon?

Maths definitely helps with the UKCAT exam, the entrance exam used by the majority of medical schools, however every medical school doesn't specifically ask for maths. They just want Biology and Chemistry. It helps but it isn't necessary at all. I was looking at the Oxbridge statistics and like 21% of their medical students didn't have maths as an A level

You could always ring in on the Monday to find out what's happening. It's something I'm looking to do on Monday to possibly try and change my psychology subject to maths.

If they are not able to do that then I guess I'll just wait for a response from King Edwards Stourbridge.
