Medicine or Music?

I'm in my first year of college and I am currently studying Biology, Chemistry, Music and German. My subjects are pretty much varied but I have considered to study medicine at university because I want to become a psychiatrist.
I got A's in Biology, Chemistry and German. I got A* in Music.
Will this be hard for me to get into Uni?
Tbh, it's much easier to get an A* in Music (providing you have a classical background and are Grade 6+ on your instrument) than it is to get an A* in Biology, Chemistry or German at GCSE, so I don't think you should take that as an indication that you should do Music at uni! If you want to apply for Medicine, get some work ex, work your butt off and do all the relevant research to achieve what you want :smile:
You haven't even got into medical school and you've already decided that you want to be a Psychiatrist?
Anyway, get some work experience in a hospital/GPs and see what you think. You should also be thinking about doing some voluntary work if you're seriously considering medicine.
