Bio, chem, physics? I’d kill myself. Bio and chem are both very heavy subjects. I won’t apply Oxbridge or anything like that. Most mid to lower tier university only care that you have their pre requisites and good grades.

if i’m being honest, you’re not getting into medicine with these a level subjects no matter what university it is
they would require AT LEAST one science subject as the course is heavily scientific and you will struggle if you pick english lit and sports studies, psychology is probably a good choice as it’s heavily scientific but it won’t gain you enough credibility as taking bio chem
I'm doing bio and chem, I chose sports studies as my 3rd a level. My questions was asking what i should take for my thrid a level

I think sports studies is fine as a third A level - it's very theoretical.

yeah, it may be too similar to bio tho, which is why Idk if i should take it. It's also not as respected as other Med combos like bio, chem, psycology
