Entrance to medical school, A level requirements in the UK, please help!


Entrance to medical school, A level requirements in the UK, please help!?
I'm in year 11, my last year of secondary school, and very soon will need to be chosing which subjects to study at A-Level. Ultimately, i wish to do medicine, so i will be taking chemistry and biology, but I'm just wondering as to whether or not i would be at a disadvantage if i didn't carry Mathematics onto A Level. Is there a less chance of me getting onto a medical course? Do univeristies prefer mathematics? P.S. I'm expected an A* at GCSE, if this makes any difference?

I'm going down the same path. General, you need an AAB as A2, and this includes Chemistry, Biology and another Maths/Science based subject. I'm currently in AS, and I'm doing Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths, so I've got two options then and there. Maths isn't essential, but helpful. Try looking at prospectuses for universities; I did. :]
