A-Level Subject Choices... HELP

Hi,
I’ve received my GCSE results yesterday and I am looking to study Dentistry or Medicine at university hence I will be taking Biology and Chemistry as A-Levels but I am unsure of my 3rd choice. I am contemplating between taking Spanish or Maths. Will taking Spanish as an A-Level strengthen my university application (into dentistry/medicine) more than perhaps taking Maths as an A-Level? In my GCSEs I have scored five grade 9s and three grade 8s in total. In biology I have scored a grade 9 as well as a grade 9 in Chemistry. In Spanish I have also scored a grade 9 and in Maths I have scored a grade 8. Can I have some advice on which A-Level subject I should take? Thanks

The one you can get the best grade in. They dont really care. Always check individual entrance requirements, but in terms of subjects Chemistry and Biology will cover most options. A couple might prefer 3 science, but unless you want to go there it is irrelevant.
