My son wants to study medicine, preferably at Oxford but if not the best he can get a place. We are in Scotland and so do Highers and Advanced Highers after doing National 5s in S4.
He is now at the stage of choosing his Highers and wants to drop English. He doesn't enjoy it and it isn't on the list of required subjects for medicine other than at Nat5/GCSE level.
I get his reasoning but when I was at school anyone academically able to do it was strongly advised to. Not sure if things have changed.
Does anyone think this will cause difficulties? Thanks for any advice
