  1. English

    Maths

    Science

    these three should be enough for you to become a doctor but focus mostly on science since science is the main criteria for a GP and the reason why english is needed is because you need to also consult your patients to make them understand what problems they have and to have a positive attitude.

    maths is not much needed but basic math skills are needed for calculations in pharmaceutical and also in biology ^_^  


  2. Science, Science, Science.

    If your going into A-level you will need Chemistry and at least 1 other science (or maths) but preferably two.

    Remember medicine is extremely competitive so they won't even consider you in most places of you don't have mostly A's.

  3. Chemistry 1, 2  with Labs, Organic Chemistry 1, 2 with Labs, Physics 1, 2 with Labs, Calculus 1, 2, English 1, 2, Foreign Language, 1, 2.  

    Extra Curriculars.  


  4. That should be fine, it's good that your doing language they like that because of the number of foreign people moving into the UK.

  5. science

  6. Your primary focus should be in science and math -- and do well in those areas. By the way, that's quite the course load you're carrying!  I don't know if you are in high school or college but in either case, your GPA needs to be in the high "3's" in order to be considered for admission to a competitive university or a med school program.  Your MCAT average needs to be high (each school varies slightly but shoot for average in the 9-10 range to be considered).  It's a lofty and admirable aspiration and I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor.  Keep cracking those books!

  7. Latin, science and math.
