spanish a level for vet med??

hii,
I am in year 11 right now and I want to go into veterinary medicine at university, and I am definitely going to do chemistry and biology a levels, and was planning to do maths but i am not sure anymore. I really love spanish, i love the language and the teachers and i am very good at it, it is one of my best subjects along with sciences. my sixth form doesnt offer spanish AS, only the full a level, but they require me to take an AS or an epq along with the three a levels.

I was wondering, if I took a levels biology, chemistry and spanish with a maths AS, would this significantly decrease my chances of getting into vet school? Im worried that not taking three science related subjects would put me at a disadvantage, and i dont know if they would care about my AS in maths or not. If it would be a major disadvantage for the applications I would take maths bio chem and probably an EPQ, but I'm not sure. I'm not not ready to give up spanish yet, i feel like if i carry it on i could get really good and if i drop it now im worried ill forget everything!

You will not have a disadvantage for your third A Level as long as you meet minimum requirements of subjects (usually bio and chem) and grades. Do the one you enjoy and will do best in!
