I have to hand in my A-Level options by next week and I'm considering doing French or Spanish as a 4th option. I already know I'm doing Maths, Chemistry and Biology.
I'm currently predicted a grade 8 in French & Spanish for GCSE

At AS level, there isn't that much of jump compared to GCSE so if you are currently finding them easy, go of it. There is a much, much bigger jump between AS and A2 though.

I do spanish a level and its so fun! I haven't found it that much of a step up and the contents not that bad really. Its really nice because its so many subjects in one - bit of history, bit of politics, bit of literature. Doing it alongside sciences is so nice because its a bit of a break from the other subjects

Thanks for the responses, I wasn't sure if a language would be too much of an additional workload, I think I'll add it to my application. This was rlly helpful!

There are ways of keeping up your languages; I've come across some magazines for people doing languages at school recently and they look very good. I think that you get access to online material too. You could do this and keep up your language interests.

My own degree is in Modern Languages and I will always encourage people who want to do languages; the one thing I would say in your case is to make sure that doing an extra A Level doesn't impact on your chances of getting top grades in the A Levels you need, which will be your Maths, Chemistry and Biology A Levels. There is so much competition for places to read Medicine, I wouldn't want you to take any risks with your grades.

In some schools I looked at they offered it as an EPQ. Do you think this would be better than doing an A-Level for it?

I've asked Ecolier to chip in on this, he knows about applications to read Medicine and how to give yourself the best chance.

Ive applied for medicine with bio chem and spanish and it absolutely doesn't affect your application and its a major asset tbh - think being aware of how you communicate type thing
I'd say if your not sure about doing 4, pick the top three - even if that doesn't include maths

Unless you wanted to apply to Cambridge, then you should take Maths as your third subject.
