A level choice pro/con list

I need to choose my A levels soon and I’m stuck between Computer Science and Further Maths as my fourth option. I definitely want to start with 4 A levels and Biology, Chemistry and Maths are the ones I’m definitely taking. I just don’t know how Med Schools would view either further maths or computer science as one of my options if I take either one.

I just need some help on my pro/con lists for each subject.

I would choose Further Maths - it's not a whole another subject so really it's just extra Maths but its another A-level qualification. Med schools won't care about Computer Science as it's not needed nor a facilitating subject, while Further Maths is. Also, taking Further Maths will make your regular Maths lessons easier.

If you are really good at maths and are heading for a 9, or 8 min, Further Maths is probably your best bet if you want to do 4. For Med though, you are better off doing 3 and using any spare time you have on a med related EPQ, volunteering, additional supercurilulars, entrance exam prep etc.
