kings maths dilemma

I got a place at kings maths school and I loooooooooooooooooooooooooove maths and this sixth form was my dream sixth form everything is so perfect about it.

But I also kinda wanna be a dentist, and none of the subjects offered there are related to dentistry/medicine...
Is there anything I can do? Or should I just suck it up and move on?
Most dentistry/med courses want a combination including at least 2 of Maths, Biology and Chemistry. As Im sure you’re aware, KMS offers Maths, Further Maths, Physics and an AS in either Computing or Economics. You need to choose whether you want to go to KMS or you want to go into medicine, the way I would think about it is that KMS would be 2 years of your life whereas what career path you take is usually much more significant. You could pursue your love for maths elsewhere dont forget, what are your other options? I hope this helps a little :smile:
