Advice for a level options

Currently in the process of choosing a levels to study at sixth form.I'm interested in studying law but also want to keep options open for medicine and our school lets us pick four a levels so I was thinking History Bio English Lit and Chem. Is this too stressful as a workload and do you have to have english lit for top law schools because thinking about all the essays fills me with dread? (edit:we have to start with 4 a levels)
