Medicine A levels

Hello,
I need some advice. I’m planning on doing Medicine at university so I’ve decided to choose chemistry and biology for A levels, but for my third subject i don’t know whether to pick RS (Religious studies) or English Literature.

Those two subjects (English Lit and RS) are the only ones i want to pick from for the last subject.

Which one would be best for my med school application?

Thank you so much!!

Either would be fine. Outside of Cambridge (where to achieve a competitive score in the BMAT/interview you effectively need to be taking a third STEM subject i.e. maths or physics), medical schools don't normally care what your third subject is (some specify it be an "academic" subject, but both of your choices are academic so no issue there).

So pick whichever you prefer and/or think you'll do better in (as you need to be aiming for an A or A* in it!).
