Are my A-Levels favourable for medicine?

I am in year 11 in the process of picking my a -levels. I have chosen to pick between four, chemistry, biology, history and geography. I know I need the chem and bio to go into medicine but I'm struggling between history and geography because I love both subjects and I am good at both of them. I got a 9 in history and an 8 in geo for my mocks. I did consider doing four a - levels but my friends say that it will be hard. Any suggestions?

I don’t know if I can help you out but personally geography has been very dullllll and boring and it’s hard to answer questions. History could be the same in terms of questions but at least it’s interesting. How about psychology instead?

oooh those will be pretty tough if you carry on all those four. btw I got 9 in Geo at gcse and I loved the course sooo much, it was my favourite subject without a doubt, but when I started it at A level I absolutely hated it!!!! A level geo is the worst, really enjoying history tho, the content isn't really that much and it tends to have really low grade boundaries, for instance for my course 64% is an A!

Four subjects is excessive - chemistry, biology and either history or geography would be fine. Pick the one you enjoy most and think you can do best in :smile:
