What are the major highschool subjects that contribute to medical school admission and possibly syllabus?
I'm and have always been passionate about biology but in Norway, they require physics which was rather weird at first. I've researched on many different university requirements and some need biology and not physics. I may not continue med school in Norway since they study in Norwegian and having been here only a year, I've seen the language effects on my grades so far especially orally. I'm requesting for any med expert to help me choose. I can only choose two among physics, biology and chemistry, no exceptions. I've been thinking of placing aside the passion of biology just in case I don't have a choice but to stay in Norway for university.
