Uhh let's see.
GCSEs were a bit low, around 10As, 4Cs and an A*, under extenuating circumstance.
AS were Maths, Further Maths, Engl. Lit, Chemistry, Biology.
Dropped Eng Lit, took up an EPQ~
So AS: AAAAC + EPQ (ongoing, probably A)
A2 predictions: A*A*AA
Applied for biochemistry @ Imperial, KCL, UCL, Warwick & Oxf. (re-applying at 1st year)
Firming ICL, Insurance Warwick (although they're the same entrance req.)
Personally, I see medicine as an over-rated poofed up vocation course, bit like being an anorexic model.
Imo, most people want to be doctors because they get to help people, etc, etc which soothes their egos and presumably makes them popular with the ladies & pay, etc, etc.
However, what you must remember is that the med. degree is 5+1+1 with incalculated year and found. year and you will be 25-26 when you're done, the salary for a junior doctor is pretty crap (ca. 25k depending on source) and you will be spending those J.Dr years (+clinical years) at a G.P looking at haemoroids and prescribing contraception. Unless you decide to go straight into specialisation which will be a further 2-3 years. Although if you want the quick way in and the quick way out, its 4 years if you do Biochem first, therefore 3+4, which is still seven, and you only get the benefit to two Bachelors.
Additionally, medics are realistically only required imo, in the public healthcare sector, most of the supply and logistics are done by the under-rated biochemists and research doctorates in the private sector who have to put up with medical students during one of their years as part of their degree.
I may be very very biased in this regard, but what pisses me off the most is that the researchers and doctorates make the medicine and test and invent them. All the medics do is diagnose and dish them out as needed (barring surgeons, etc), and they get paid 20k-ish by medical charities to shadow a researcher whilst the researcher themselves only get paid 6k from the charity as part of their D.Res.

If you want some more guidance on Biochemistry, it might be worth reading this book:
http://www.amazon.co...t/dp/0199226717
I read it in full from the library and it's great knowledge to have (you need A2 knowledge for some parts) but essentially, if you try to understand it, it's a mind-tester for A-level students.
Have you considered what universities you are applying for?
