At Alevel Ive chosen: Chemistry, Human Biology, Physics, English Lang., Psychology and AS Critical Thinking.?
Chemistry is essential and physics is good too but maths would be wanted by most medicine courses, as would biology as opposed to human biology. These would probably be preferred over physics. I think psychology generally wouldn’t help if you’re thinking of applying for medicine but if you can explain why you chose it it might be o.k. Critical thinking, like general studies, generally won’t be looked at at all by top universities in terms of grade offers. Doing fewer subjects and instead concentrating on relevant extra curricular activities is probably advisable.
For medicine you will need chemistry and biology (human biology not v good). The physics is also good. The English lang can be dropped and do the psycholgy if you want. Critical thinking not really needed. I am concerned that you will be doing 6 subjects at AS level and this will be a huge workload and will hurt your grades in the core subjects where you will need A grades. On balance, do biology and drop the English.
You need maths, drop the English Lang, it’s totally useless. Also dont do human biology. Biology is the preferred subject. Also get some hobbies that will look great on your CV ( like volunteering in a soup kitchen etc). Things that show you have a caring side. The course is mad competitive and perfect grades alone wont ensure you a place on a course.
