if you wanna do biomedical, i wouldn't recommend dropping chem unless you're studying three sciences or another science and Maths.

I think it depends on the university requirements. At my uni chemistry wasn't compulsory for biomedical science (I did chemistry a level anyway hated it) so some of my classes in first year were basically chemistry A-level catch up classes where we basically just did some chemistry that was relevant to biomedical science (like biochem).
That being said doing chemistry at a-level definitely does help when you're doing practicals but if you do something like maths I'd say you'd be fine.
But definitely check your uni requirements cause I know some do require it :smile:
