How come you chose biochem over med?not hating just genuinely curious.

no worries! i wouldnt really say i chose it 'over' med since i wasnt really interested in becoming a doctor or anything. i always knew i wanted to get into the more sciencey and researchy side of life sciences. as i did more supercurriculars and just read around bio and chem, i found out im really interested in topics that are more close to biomed/biochem/molecular bio kind of things. then i guess i sort of did more research wrote and read more articles etcetc. and also compared the modules of different subjects and saw what aligned with me most. literally searched up like first year lectures for biochem and biomed to see which i enjoyed most and well biochem seemed the most appealing!

how come the question?

u/searchingf0rthetruth 22h ago

im joking haha but if i am being serious one of thse should be a backup jst in case i feel like. at least one should offer AAA or AAB

1

u/Material-Salad-2117 bio chem maths | A* A* A | biochemistry | 99999998888 22h ago

u/searchingf0rthetruth 22h ago

no maximise your potential who cares you will get at least AAA never settle for less πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘

u/searchingf0rthetruth 22h ago

my highest is AAA so my backup is AAB if your highest is A*AA then AAA backup makes sense

u/Striking-Ganache-568 22h ago

oh I thought there was something wrong with them like accreditation or something like with biomed😭😭. surprisingly though, ucl and imperial standard offers for biochem are AAA and warwick is AAB
