Would taking A-Level Biology, Chemistry, English Lit and Politics limit one's...

[Ben]

...chances of a career in medicine? I've just started my A Levels, studying biology, chemistry, physics and politics

Now, I'm interested in taking English Literature because I'm already noticing the monotony of having nothing really creative in my timetable. Secondly, the prospect of the two-year physics course seems rather dull. So really my question is: can I afford to sacrifice Physics for English Lit if I want a chance of getting into the top UK medical schools?

Yeah you can. Universities ask for chemistry and another science (biology, physics or maths). Definitely do english, some universities even say that a contrasting arts subject is looked upon favourably! Also make sure you get work experience in a hospital!
