At the minute I'm deciding on what A level courses to take. I'm thinking of taking Biology (OCR), Chemistry (OCR) and English Language (WJEC), however I can't decide on a fourth option. After A level I'm considering going in to dentistry or maybe something similar/medical.
What experiences have you had taking these courses and have you taken them together?
Also, would you recommend staying at the school sixth form or going to the local college?
thanks in advance -

I want to do optometry and am planning to do: biology, chemistry, English literature and geography
When are you starting to apply for colleges? through UCAS Progress? -

If you're looking to do something medical, surprisingly physics is a good one to look at - especially if you choose to go down the straight medicine route as many places won't accept you without it!
Physics would cover things like the inner workings of MRI machines, and with some courses you actually get an entire topic dedicated to 'Medical Physics'.
Plus believe me, it's WAY more interesting than GCSE physics! -

Also maybe maths for a 4th subject? Most people take that for med/dentistry coursesalso how come you're only just deciding what a levels to take, it's like way into September now!

School sixth form, because then you don't have to meet new people/ you can just stick with your old friends and you know the teachers really well. How're for a new experience I would suggest local college.

Maths? And I'd recommend English Literature over Language.

Maths or physics is a good bet (although physics without maths is not ideal, so maths is probably a better idea)
But really, you've got three facilitating and the two main sciences, so your fourth doesn't matter all that much provided you're good at it.
