Subject advice please

Hi guys,
I am deciding whether to do health or biology. I think i would be able to gain a far better score in health than biology,
i am hoping to do medicine in the future and my 1st choice would be to do it a monash. Now i know most of you guys will say getting into medicine should be your main focus now - so you should do health which will most likely get you a better atar score. Although, if i don't get into monash med i will hopefully do biomed at melbourne and then try and transfer into medicine - which is why i am still considering biology as i think it will give me a huge advantage in biomed for gamsat and Gpa.

Thoughts?

I'd do bio... You have to work hard to get a good score in either of them anyway, and medicine concepts would relate to bio more than health.

Make sure to pick the subject which interestssince you are most likely to score higher in it. I personally would rather to do Biology than Health because to me it's much more interesting to me especially when learning about evolution, so don't just go for subjects which you find easy IMO, but it's up to you. If you are equally interested in both subjects and you know you can achieve a higher SS score in Health then go for it!

Goodluck.
