Hello there, I am an 18 year old A-level student currently studying English Literature (AQA), Maths (Edexcel) and Psychology (OCR)at A2. I've always been a passionate reader and in my teenage years a passionate reader/analyser/absorber of literature (and yes, there is a distinction) After a tumultuous year in 2014 I completely bombed out of my As-levels, attaining EEE grades. So after dropping Chemistry and Biology, I picked up Psychology and this year achieved BBB. After discussing with my subject teacher's, they have agreed to predict me AAB. Now that you basically have my academic autobiography; what would be your advice on approaching an application for an English degree? Which universities don't accept re-sitters? Do I need any work experience? What should I focus on in my personal statement??
I've got my heart set on going to Glasgow, but I'm also considering applying for Edinburgh, Reading, Liverpool and as a safety net Northumbria/Manchester Met. I'd just like to know if I have any chance with any of these universities, so I don't waste one of my choices on them.
Thank you, Charity
