Are my a level choices good for medical school? I’m doing biology, chemistry and psychology and epq and I am worried that I should do maths but I’m not the best at it. Do unis like UCL priorities students who have done maths?
If Maths isn't listed as an essential subject, then they don't care and it won't make any difference.

You dont need to do maths the subjects you are doing are fine.

Most med schools don't have a requisite for 3rd subject unless its Critical Thinking or General studies, eg in the likes of UCL. So you are definitely fine without Maths, UCL will not look further for 3rd subjects unless its the 2 listed.

Do make sure you double check when it comes to apply for med schools if there is any further changes (though unlikely).

nope ucl doesn't care along with pretty much all other medschools. what matters is getting high grades in them, aim for ideally two or three A*s and no Bs.
