Should I go Cadbury or solihull sixthform college?

Hey guys, so in uni i'm planning to do medicine, but not in the uk, either in Australia or Holland because I posses the passport of both countries. Anyways back to the question, Solihull (which is about 20 min bus from my house) have offered me tripple applied science (B-Tec) because the main courses are full but I don't think that would allow me to go onto the medicine pathway. Comparatively, Cadbury (who is 1 hour away by bus) have offered me Chemistry, Biology and phycology. I don't really care about journey length, but want to know the experiences you've had at these schools. Thanks.

Hey, I was in the same place as you when I was applying but I ended up going to Cadbury, which is around 1hr 45mins from me by train and bus. Honestly it’s not too bad it’s really just a small college tbh and some teachers are really nice and actually want you to do well (but I can’t speak for the rest lmao) I’m in second year now all I can really say is do what you prefer ig and what you feel like will allow you to progress further. x

it doesn’t really matter. Go to a place where you won’t have to travel a long distance and where you think you’ll be able to get the most success from.

But, if medicine is your goal, then you should go with the one that will enable you to do A-Levels
