A level choices help me

I’m taking those 4 A-Levels, (predicted 4A*) but purely out of passion, the med schools I’m hoping to apply to (Imperial/Manchester/UCL) don’t even add the 4th A-Level onto the offer, and as far as I know oxford doesn’t either. There is no benefit to taking 4 A-Levels and it is very hard, that being said I don’t regret taking physics as it keeps my doors open in case my UCAT doesn’t go well, as I could go on to pursue other subjects (physics/engineering). It all depends on how much work you are willing to put in, I also strongly believe that to study physics you need to feel passionate about it because it is rough (at least at my school). Good luck.

Hi i'm planning on taking the same except swap bio for econ, i enjoy both chem and physics and they were my fav at gcse, could you please explain what you by physics is rough. i did find some of it completely confusing but when i actually went through it thoroughly it all made sense and everything was sort of linked and basically felt like one of those eureka moments and would also help me understand other topics aswell. Is this the same for a-level, and also are the calculations like really bad?

So i’m going into year 11 soon, and i was wondering if doing 4 a levels or 3 a levels and an epq is better for getting into medicine at a good (top 10? uni). For 4 a levels i would choose bio, chem, physics and maths. For 3 i would just do bio chem maths. I am fairly sure i could get 4 a* if i put the work in. The EPQ slightly scares me bcs of the presentation and many people have told me unis don’t really take it seriously, and that since its only 1/2 of an a level it’s not worth all the time it takes. But im just wondering which would be better for applications since i know unis dont look at 4 a levels any differently anyways. But it could be good if i flunk one of my exams because at least then i still have 3 good a levels, and it broadens my choices for courses if i do well in all 4. Sorry for rambling. Advice would be appreciated
