Hi,
Just asking for a bit of advice from anyone who’s done/is doing 4 A-Levels and an EPQ. I want to take:
-Biology
-Chemistry
-Maths
-Psychology
-EPQ
And currently am doing currently:
-English Literature (8)
-English Language (9)
-Maths (8)
-L2 Further Maths (8)
-Biology (8)
-Physics (9)
-Chemistry (9)
-Psychology (9)
-Music (8)
-Geography (9)
-German (8)
-RS (8)
-CERT: Medical Neuroscience (Duke University, online course)
-LCM Diploma: Piano
So basically, I know the workload is hard but I’m managing 12 GCSEs, a Certificate in Neuroscience and a Diploma in Piano pretty well.
I want to advance onto an intercalated MBChB medicine degree, with intercalation to a BSc in Neuroscience/MB-PhD in Neuro-oncology (if I’m still interested by then of course).
The reason I think it’s good to do it is because this CERT in Neuroscience gives me insight into A-Level Biology/Psychology (and some degree stuff) topics I’ll know really well by the time I get to 6th Form, making those areas of those subjects a lot easier. Also doing a GCSE in Psychology obviously helps with Psychology and L2 Further Maths makes AS-Level Maths pretty manageable.
So I want to know if it’s worth it to do 4 a levels and an EPQ, and if the workload is as hard as people make out.
TL/DR: Worried 4 A levels and EPQ is a heavy workload, but already doing a lot, want to study medicine.
