Help on what to pick for a levels

I'm in my final year of GCSESs, and I have to pick my a levels soon. I want to study something like pharmacy in uni, but I don't really enjoy chemistry. Would I still get into uni with BTECs like applied science, psychology, and health and social care? People do say BTECs are looked down upon, so I'm not really sure what to pick.
Check the entry requirements for some pharmacy courses- if chemistry is broadly required and it’s a subject you dont enjoy then consider if you’re actually interested in the subject. If btecs would be more suited to you then they could be a good option, provided they will allow you to progress to a career which also suits you 🙂

Then find another degree subject - MPharm revolves around Chemistry.
