If you want to survive on a high level engineering course mathematics should be practically a second language.

It's Fine Arts BA for you, buddy.

I failed Fine Arts at GCSE :proud:

I failed normal Art GCSE :proud:

OP, just have shining personal statement, good reference and AAA/AAAA predicted grades (and therefore, actual grades).

Well, it was 'Art (Fine Art)' :p:

I still had to draw/paint stuff, it's all exactly the same :rolleyes:

2A*s, 6As & 5Bs..
I'm just hoping this won't limit my options ;/

What do places like imperial & oxbridge (engineering) think about these kinds of results, keep in mind I have the A* for product design & physics, with an A in maths, statistics, chemistry, biology, eng lang.

i am very similar to you! i want to do enigeering at a top uni too and my gcse grades were pretty much same as yours 2A* 6A 2B but my A* were in maths and physics.

i just got my AS results and got AAAB in maths, fmaths, physics and economics and will be applying to imperial and hopefull oxbridge

I got a D.

It may have had something to do with the fact that I didn't finish my painting in the final exam...

Not bad!

I got mixed responses for mine:

Wow, that's good
for your standards

It took you 2 days to draw that?!

Ah I see, getting an A* in Maths and Physics are the best two for engineering, I didn't get one in Maths, but if you're hoping to get into imperial and oxbridge then I'm guessing I shouldn't be too far off either

Now 'all' I have to do is get some good grades in my A-level subjects :smile:

(check my sig if you want to see what I'm taking)

So did I, but was then forced to take it at GCSE :sigh:

Why would you even take Art anyway at GCSE? Bit of a waste of a subject...

Well I kinda regret not taking it, if I had taken it it wouldn't have closed my door on Architecture before I'd even thought about it. But my mind is made up on Civil Engineering now though :awesome:
