I just finished my second year of sixth form. At the end of the two years, I achieved A*A*A*, in Maths, Chemistry and Biology, and also an A in AS Classical Civilisation (so I won't be doing any resits). Having changed my mind over the second year about my choice of course (from Chemistry to Chemical Engineering), I have decided to stay at college for one more year, where I will be studying AS and A2 Further Maths and also AS Additional Further Maths. I was wondering whether or not this extra year would disadvantage me as an applicant, despite having gotten grades that exceed the minimum offer for the Chemical Engineering course at somewhere like Imperial or Cambridge?
