Hello!

I would recommend probably psychology as it is classed as a science but it is quite a lot of content on top of these 3 A-levels.

i would also recommend something like philosophy especially since you could link it to medical ethics in your personal statement

Hope this helps!

Why don't you pick something that's different to your other 3 subjects? So that you have something that is a bit of a change of scenery.
Something like sociology or geography or something.

If you have to do a 4th subject then pick something you will enjoy studying - Drama, Sociology, History, whatever. Then drop a subject after the first year and focus on getting the essential 3 A grades. Most Med courses only require Chem and one other STEM, so you might even feel you could drop Maths at that point.

Hi there,

Your 3 A-levels are sufficient and universities really don't care where you go to do them.

However, if you really want to go to this college then I would recommend something fun and that you enjoy :smile:
