"I'm planning to do CompSci for three years and then train in medicine for four."

This somewhat surprises me. If you ignore the crazy number of A levels his grade in Chemistry puts him on shaky ground for Medicine.

"For applicants taking three or more science/mathematics subjects at A level the agreed minimum offer* is three A grades in three science/mathematics A levels."

"All Colleges strongly prefer applicants to have Chemistry A level."

Maybe if he didn't spend that much time on all the other 23, he would have aced Chemistry. :) I'm sure he'll do well once he focuses only on medicine.
