Do banks look at your "First sitting" A level results?

Extenuating circumstances?

I was ill but i can't really prove it so i guess no extenuating circumstances.
Would they really care if i still got into a uni like Warwick?





Also, why would someone neg rep me?

It wasn't me but I guess it could be because you're assuming you can get definitely get A*AA after getting BBC the first time around.

Yes I imagine they would, provided those results were available for them to see. Don't see why they would ignore them...

Not to be rude but is that a wild guess?

I wouldn't really put it down if they don't ask me to list: all colleges you have been to/all the resits i have done/First sitting results only.

There arn't even really any requirements for banks, just a "good academic background" so do you think even if i got into the likes of warwick to do A&F, i would have problems getting into banks because of my resit year?

I seriously can't imagine Warwick taking you, considering that you're taking your A-Levels over three years, and the fact that you only achieved BBC in your first sitting, and A&F is one of Warwick's most competitive courses.

Hmm, the admissions officer told me he doesn't really mind resits for accounting.
However, for economics it's a whole different matter and you are really disadvantaged.

Anyone know the answer to the original question ?
I've just been looking at all their sites and them seem to have nothing in their entry requirements or application section except for goldman sachs.

I don't even have to list down i did resits on all but one (GS) of them as they don't ask for any resit grades.

Also, there is no way i would work in BO.

Obviously it isn't as good as achieving over 2 years but, in my opinion, it is better to retake and get into a good university with A*AA then settle for a university that is less highly regarded just because you've ****ed up.

If you focus and can show the banks you have learnt from your mistake and if you get onto a top course at A&F at Warwick you should be fine.

Also, people on this forum need to stop this whole FO/BO thing. If you don't get into FO, you don't "settle" for BO. That's retarded. They are two completely different jobs. If you want to be a trader, you work your ass off to be a trader, you don't suddenly settle for a completely different role (BO). Likewise I'm sure there are some people who want a good work-life balance and are aiming for BO as it's a well rounded, well paid job.Anyways, yeah if you get into a top 6 and do something useful over your Summer, achieve high at Uni and do all the usuals (ECs, work exp, know your **** etc) I would think you will be fine (again just my opinion - don't want to give false hope!)

Not true. I know Warwick sociology grads, who were desperate to get into IB, but BO was all they could get, due to their 'soft' degree. So it, depends, it's a generalisation, but most people in BO aren't able to make it to FO/MO, and have to settle for the crumbs metophorically speaking.
