Hi, this is a great video it's been really helpful thank you for uploading it! I'm hoping to apply to Cambridge for Medicine and am currently choosing my A-level options but unsure whether or not I should take 4 A-levels. If I were to, I'd take Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and an EPQ. I'd rather take Maths, Chemistry, Biology and an EPQ, however, I know a large number of Cambridge applicants apply with 4 and I do enjoy Physics so I wouldn't dislike taking it. I would just like to know if doing 4 A-levels and getting high grades in them all will make much more of a difference competitively than doing 3?
i think epq is good because it shows academic interest a lot, and it will count as a supercurricular you can write about in your personal statement when u get to it :) i don’t think cambridge cares much about subjects that are not related to your course, and in most cases the 4th A-level will be irrelevant. e.g. physics is not useful for medicine
@@renee3183 4th subjects are absolutely not irrelivent, Infact they basically recommend 5 as subjects to do in allot of cases (with the knowlege you can only take 4 of them). The vast majority of accepted applications come with 4 A-levels as thats a neccisary componant of a competitive application.

i believe cambridge does not consider epq so you would be better off doing maths, chemistry, biology and physics x

Don't.
Do an apprenticeship instead.
