Honestly, if you go after completing A2, you will find the first year extremely easy as many things will be repeated. A2 is harder and in my opinion I wasted a year =/
@Age.. That IS young for medical school, but I hope it wont be an issue... cuz I'm the same age and going to uni too :oops:
My opinion - Go now if you have the admisssion. Don't leave the chance and A2 is a lot of stress and hardwork that gives little returns. (That's my point of you :) Other's may think differently though. I suggest you ask first year medicine students, they'll help you better ^^)

thx i have already been accepted my a uni in Poland, and i asked most of my friends opinions and most said not to skip the chance. Are u also studying medicine, and finished year 13? which uni are u going?:). What really makes me hesitate is my age cause i wont be able to socialize easily, thats my main concern and i am sure the academic part wont be a problem. I am just waiting for my results :( then will make my decision.

Thanks for ure reply (y)
