Find people with the same A level options

are you hoping to study medicine bc if you are i would recommend sacking the EPQ off

When i started Year 12 I thought i wanted to do biomedical science and so i thought an EPQ on the medical and ethical aspects of research on primates would make me stand out. When i realised i wanted to do medicine and went on open days etc, they all said that the EPQ doesn't form any real part of the application, you could only talk about it briefly in your PS or interview. Also i found it a real hassle and burden and i was always behind and once i found out it wasn't going to be used in my med application i realised it was a complete waste of time so sort of gave up on making it really good. And even though when i chose my title the area really interested me (and it still does) i found that after 6 months or so, i wasn't really passionate enough to go and do shitloads of work outside the classroom. I kept ending up cramming stuff the night before a deadline. Having said that it does teach you some decent skills. I have some other issues with it but they're kind of minor things. I know some other guys who are medics and are doing/did an EPQ so i'll ask them as well. The two years would be a blessing bc it was constantly on my mind and was depressing how little work i had done. but even so you would want to make sure you get nearly all of it done in the first year so upper sixth is free for uni and A2s

Maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. Cmon you noobs, whos manly enough to do the same subjects as me. Tag me yo and prove i'm not the only alpha in dis chat.

Maths, biology and chemistry (and physics AS)

My options are quite popular especially amongst medics

Too damn right lol. But how are you doing an AS, they don't exist anymore.

However it does increase your ucas points. I spoke to people at King's and UCL and they say that an EPQ is extremely helpful as it's a strong talking part in your interview and it shows your passion for the subject.

Plus an EPQ later in the year

Biology, Geography and Psychology
All AQA

Biology, Chemistry and Psychology.
I think I'm beginning to regret choosing psychology. Teachers were telling me to take maths but I struggled to get a 7 in GCSE maths, so I wouldn't have been able to do A level maths.

You sure you want to do an EPQ?? Might want to read what i have written to some other people ^^^^^^^^^^^^

(Repped bc good thread idea)
I'll be so surprised if anyone's doing the same as me

English Literature and Language
History
Graphic Design
