No, you don't need GCSE drama. Nobody will care whether you have it or not. Most good schools don't even offer it.

Sorry if I announcing the equal stuff as everybody else(I used to be too lazy to learn the opposite solutions!) Those grades are quality, unis slightly seem at GCSEs anymore so so long as you aren't getting cut down than As and Bs on the very lowest you are quality. As you mentioned even though its the voluntary paintings or paintings revel in sort matters will make you stand out (long run voluntary paintings at care properties is regularly well) Also A phases are the item that obtaining into the unis are determined on so simply do not slack as soon as you've got performed your GCSEs motive you HAVE to get As (potentially A*s by the point you practice)! And yep, throughout scientific placements you can do rounds of all exceptional specialties, which as soon as you are there you can often be glad about as matters you do not have imagined you would experience can emerge as the matters you discover so much intriguing sooner or later! Good success:)
