Law or Medical Science?
I'm thinking of trying to get into Oxford or Cambridge University and I'm confused about which course to take.
I could take Law, but I don't know if this is interesting. I know I'd probably be good at it and I like the thought of being a barrister, and I know its highly paid. I only need three good As and I know I can get more at my A levels than that, in any subjects.
But then there's medical science. I need chemistry as a priority grade and or biology maths or physics. I take biology and maths as I enjoy them. I hate chemistry. It holds little joy for me, and whereas I find I can do well at the others with little effort and very will with lots of effort, I have to try extra hard to even immerse myself in Chemistry although I always get a good grade anyway. I don't know how confident I would be at being a doctor and I don't want to get stuck at some healthy surgery. At the same time, I get squeamish when dissecting things in class although I'm fine with just looking. At the same time I have a great interest in medical science.
I just don't know what to do!
Which do you think??
Please answer. I don't need anyone who knows much about either, just an opinion :)
Thanks...

Well, from what you are saying about dissections and queasiness, being a doctor might not be for you. Unless you become a surgeon you won't have to really do too much of that, but you will still be examining some pretty insane wounds I'd imagine. Also chemistry is extremely extremely important for your M.D. not saying you can't do it, but if you don't enjoy it, you will have a tough time. I would say, just from my opinion, stick with law. To me, it seems lie more fun, and, while not less of a challenge, has higher pay at lower levels.
Good luck.
