i do eventually wanna be a doctor but my interests + atar needs + parental pressures led to me dropping chem in year 12, are there any unis in australia that you dont need year 12 chemistry to do medicine? ive researched a bit myself but i dont know all the med unis and where to find their pre-reqs
THANKS GUYS :D
