Yeah, Biomedical Science seems to be the most popular back-up. Although, I wouldn't advise putting that if it doesn't seem your thing.

ahh can you not. So what can you put down for the other 2? I havent really got a clue about these things as I'm not doing it yet. Dentistry was my first choice you see, but i changed my mind a few months ago after looking into it more.

Out of curiosity what made you change your mind?

Hmm yea i know, but I duno what else I want to do. I really want to do medicine so any other choice other than that wouldn't be "me" anyway.

Errmm, I just thought dentistry would be really boring. Just sitting in the same place every day looking at teeth. Medicine seems more active and diverse. it just seems more exciting and I'm doing higher human biology at the moment and it really interests me. So i think doing something I'm more interested in would make it a better career choice.

There's only so many mouths you can look into before you get bored lol

If thats your reason I'd do work experience in both fields before you decide. At the end of the day you specialise in medicine too.
