Medicine or BME?

I’m currently in Year 13, studying Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. Originally, i wanted to study medicine. My biology and psychology is good, but chemistry is my weak subject, hence I was planning a gap year. However, now I’m considering taking a gap year to study A level Maths and Physics so I can apply for Biomedical Engineering at university. I've just decided that being a doctor won't be relevant to what I truly aspire to do.
The problem is, I have a weak background in both subjects (maths and physics) and I didn’t take them at A-level. I know that A-level Maths and Physics are difficult, especially to complete in just one year.
I’m wondering:
*Is this realistic, or am I setting myself up for failure?
*Has anyone done this successfully, and how did you manage?
I’d really appreciate any advice from people who’ve taken these subjects in a short timeframe or made a similar decision.

What’s ur GCSEs and a level predictions. Also what is your AS grades u got for your AS exam officials ?

It's a bit far fetched..but you shouldn't do med if you don't aspire to. How about you apply to uni with the a levels you have for a degree like biomedical sciences and switch majors when you've joined, or else specialise in BME later on?? I think that's a more realistic approach than grinding unfamiliar a levels within a year's time.

Bioengineering contains a lot of maths and other engineering based modules. It’s not just about getting your alevels but also doing it as a degree after. What actually draws you into bioengineering? As remember, at the end of the day it is an engineering subject, although applied to biological problems of course.
If you find biochemistry, genetics and that type of stuff more interesting. Then I would suggest doing a biochemistry related degree (if that’s what your into, I know that you said you don’t really like chemistry.)
Also, if you’re struggling to get an A in chemistry as it is, achieving good grades in both physics and maths in one year is going to be a big challenge, I’m not saying it isn’t possible though.

Thanks for the advice. I'm drawn to bioengineering because I want to work on prosthetics straight after uni — the way technology can transform people's lives really interests me. Chemistry hasn't always been my strongest subject, but I've been pushing myself to improve because I know it's important for both medicine and bioengineering. I'm aware that the maths and physics will be a challenge, but if I find I don't enjoy those topics or start doubting if it's the right fit, then I'll take that as a sign to stick with medicine.
