Taking new A Levels to become a Doctor

I have just finished my Sociology, Economics and Computer Science A Levels. If I take the new A Levels of Biology, Chemistry and Politics to study medicine will they be considered by my prospective universities as "resits" or a new set of A Levels which will not be treated a resits - as i know resits are frowned upon by medical schools.

so are you taking year 12 and year 13 again?
you would have to email individual universities to find out, but it should be fine
