i have just completed my first year of as levels, however I wish to pick new a levels to do over the next two years as I was forced in a way by my mother to pick these ones.

Anyway I was wondering would this mean I will be classed as doing my a levels over 3 years? Or that I will be doing them over two years as they would be brand new.

I have emailed unis and they have just sent me a generic answer which doesn't answer the question.

If you're doing the A-levels (the new set) over two years then they would be classed as being just that.

It will be classed over only 2 years if they are completely different, however universities will still be able to see your previous AS results, so hopefully you've done moderately well.

Will I even have to submit my previous as results though? ^.~ Would it be bad for...say if I wanted to apply to oxbridge?

Yes you would, you are required to state all qualifications
Plus your date of birth would reveal a missing year if you tried to hide them
Anything on your academic record will impact your application. In this case you need to have a good positive story that explains why you picked the wrong subjects originally and why you changed (telling them 'mum made me' is not a great idea).

Well it's pretty obvious that I wouldn't give that as a reason to a university.

My point is that you need not see it as a negative but must be prepared to be asked about it at interview and need to be able to talk about it in a really positive way.

What A-levels were you made to do and which ones are you switching to?

I understand thankyou for your help

Biology, Chemistry, English lit and lang and Rs.
I want to switch to Mathematics, Physics, Economics and Politics.

It's perfectly fine

I'm doing the same

All the universities I emailed(Bristol,Cass business school, Bham, Aston, Nottingham and a few others) said it's fine

Judging by your username..... is this Sid from HGS?
