DD1 is in Y13 and is definitely interested in some sort of medical job. She likes science and is good at it. She got all 8s and 9s for GCSEs, except for one 7 for Spanish and an A* for Classics.
She's doing bio, chem and sociology for A levels and is predicted AAA* and sat UCAT last week and got 3000( or 750) .
Up until her UCAT score she was slightly biased towards nursing but now she says she feels she should do medicine.
She thinks she would be happier doing nursing but is worried she might regret not doing medicine. She has a part time job working with the general public and is good with people and thinks medicine might not allow enough patient contact for her.
Deadlines are looming and she's torn and is getting upset about it.
Oh and she's pretty keen to take a gap year if that helps any.
Any suggestions?
