Leaving out a GCSE D grade?

It wouldn't usually bother me if I had the one poor grade amongst good ones that I had to write down on an application.
I got 2 A's 7 B's at GCSE, plus 1 D
But I really want to leave that D out of my UCAS, is that bad?
Because the D was in Art, and i'm applying for BA Graphic Design. And I feel that it'd look awful on my application for that reason.

I mean, if only they could of heard my awful Art teachers justifications for my D they might understand, she was the opposite to how an Art teacher should be, I can remember classic quotes that I often heard such as "this isn't really art is it?" and "Packaging Design is Graphics not Art"...I mean she told me these after marking my units...not whilst I was doing them as she was never in lesson to see my work. Man I hated her, and she hated me, we both knew it.
But anyway...

I'm already nervous about being rejected because of my rubbish A-level grades (in the 2 I did that weren't Graphics) to say the least, I don't have the correct amount of UCAS points currently, but i'm on an Art and Design Foundation which will get me the points and will be looked at more so than A-levels by the majority of Unis.
But I still just feel this extra D will be 1 more little thing going against me,
ahhhhhhh!

You have to include it,
Don't worry, you have good grades and one "bad" grade won't reflect badly.
You have to put it down, plus it's a qualification anyhow, a D is better than not having anything.

Include it, it's not optional.

Yeah, I will..
Even if it is going to cause me even more worry on top of what i'm already worried about to do with my application

Well you shouldn't worry, they're very unlikely to care about a single bad GCSE grade.

if you don't include and get offers, then when it comes to supplying qualifactions and they see D GSCE and you didn't tell them, they can say good bye NO OFFER so your choice

Didn't include my D in French at GCSE in my application..

Then you were lying when you 'signed' the declaration when submitting it that your application was complete and accurate.

Most of my GCSE's were D's.

Just add it, it's not the end of the world.
I'm applying to Graphic Design with barely 5 C's.
I even failed Art at GCSE.

Well my head of year actually told us to not include below grade C's in our applications for GCSE's... well I'm happily at Uni now, I don't see how a grade D in French could benefit me anyhow.

Ahh right, it's a little more reassuring that i'm not the only one that's failed Art GCSE that's applying to Graphic Design, aha.

I just wish I could redo that 1 unit of my Graphics A-Level, then I probably wouldn't be freaking out so much about getting offers.
I was going so well, 3 of the 4 units were ABB, then I got a D (one mark off E) in 1 unit and ended up with a C
I feel like such an idiot for letting that happen...it was the one where you write your own brief, needless to say, I wrote the stupidest, hardest brief ever.

I really hope they just look at my Foundation. My A-Levels were so bad, I hated A-Levels.
But I love Foundation and having the chance to just do what I enjoy all day

My didn't enjoy my Graphics A-level so much because I hated the other subjects I was doing and they took up loads of time, so when I got down to doing Graphics it all felt very forced. Like I had to force out ideas in the time I had set aside for Graphics, know what I mean? On Foundation the ideas just flow naturally, haha.

I'm not atrocious at art, my folders went missing a few days before marking so there was nothing i could really do, I just had to deal with my D's in Art and Design.

I blagged my way onto a Fine Art BTEC and now I'm doing really well surprisingly
I'm worried about my GCSE's holding me back, as my BTEC results are still pending.
I'm just hoping my personal statement is good enough for people even to consider me. as they might look at my appalling GCSE's and just think 'no'

I wouldn't worry about your A-level in Graphics either. Your portfolio is going to be the most important thing, that's what's going to get you your offers. Just worry about building up some work, quality over quantity. For graphic design most people do get interviews, some are unlucky and get rejections. (i can see this being me)

So Good luck!
where are you applying to then?
for me it's

Falmouth
Chelsea College of Art and Design
Brighton
UWIC.

I'm sure you will get interviews!
good luck with your choices, they seem a pretty good bunch.
i was thinking of trent, but i'm not really sure if i want to add it yet or add glamorgan as a safety net :/
