History at university
Right.
I have recently decided that I want to do History at degree level. It really interests me, and I could wax lyrical about various historical periods for hours on end.
The problem is my grades.
Last year, I took Biology, English Literature, History and Physics at AS. I got a E's in Biology, Physics, and English, and a D in History. I also have a D in IT, that I gained in Year 11.
I am re-taking Biology AS this year, and have continued with English and History, and done resits in both of those - I hope to get at least a C in English, and a B in History.
Along with my sub-standard AS grades, my GCSE's weren't as good as they could have been - I got 1 A, 9 B's, and one C. Two of those B's I gained in Year 10.
I'm worried that my re-sits and poor GCSE's will affect my chance at getting into uni - I'm not bothered about going to Oxbridge or a RG one. Glamorgan, Keele, Westminister and Dundee are current options.
What would you recommend I do?
Thanks in advance.
