Oxbridge Medicine

Hi,
Do people who take either Maths, physics, further maths and get A*s have a advantage over those who take either History, psychology, English and get A* int heir A levels( of course both alongside bio and chem) so does taking essay based subjects as opposed to science and maths subjects make me a less preferable candidate ?

Are you aware that all Med degrees are accredited as equal and all follow exactly the same GMC accredited syllabus - ie. there is no 'better course' and the NHS wont care where you trained, and neither will your future patients.
Go to some Open Days over the next few months at a range of different Unis, you have 4 Med choices so look at all options and not just Cambridge.

For Cambridge, you need Chemistry, then 2 others from Bio/Phys/Maths/Further Maths. For Oxford, you need Chemistry, and at least one from Bio/Phys/Maths.
Realistically, if you want to go to Oxford or Cambridge for medicine, I would do 3 science/maths A Levels.

My daughter’s school is taking Chemistry, Biology, Maths and got Oxford offer, so the 3rd sciences is not completely necessary

congrats!
