This is one thing I was considering, I really don’t want to sacrifice my grades in bio and chem for the sake of the epq due to workload


Remember, the grades are more important than if you have an epq or not..why not sign up and try it out, if it doesn’t work, you can drop it :smile:

The fourth a level and the epq is never part of the formal offer smh..


As I said before, it's about credits, and a fourth A Level or an EPQ (and EPQs ARE listed in entry requirements depending on the subject) will help you stand out in a competitive course line Medicine.

Same here, I’m currently taking a gap year and applying. I would recommend it to no end, helps to Boost your personal statement and allows you to do more research if you choose something medically related. Can also decrease grades required. Good luck x

how are you doing an epq in a gap year? i thought you would not be able to as it is not an exam and will need to be assessed by a teacher
