Forensic pathology/anthropology?

[ec19-]

This is the profession I really want to go into when I leave school. I realise that it is a lot of hard work, and a lot of people think it is creepy - truth is, I find it really interesting.

For years I've wanted to be a surgeon, but recently I have been more and more interested by forensics.

I know it's a gruesome job, and I know that there can be pretty horrible stuff like young children, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to cope with it.

I am expected A/A* in all of my GCSEs, and at a level I have picked Chemistry, Human Biology, Physics, Psychology and PE. Will these A levels get me onto the course I'll need at Uni? I haven't got much time to change them, and I want to be sure.

I know that you have to become a doctor before becoming a pathologist or an anthropologist, so I took the subjects I thought may be neccessary.

How clever do you actually need to be to do well in this career? I doubt my ability quite a lot, but most people think I'll be able to do this.
