What are my chances of a good University?
Hello there people!
I am in my third - yes, third year of college, this is because I chose the wrong subjects I wanted to in the future (yes very silly), however it's not for any retakes, and I have not or intend to take any resits for any of my subjects.
In my first year i did maths, further maths, it, geography. gaining AABC, respectively.
second year decided to drop georaphy and it as i lost interest and also i wanted to do science.so i took as in chem and physics. at the end i recieve :
A*maths(A2)
A further maths (A2)
A physics (as)
A chem (as)
and i am now in my 3rd and final year to complete physics and chem, predicted A* in both. since i also have few free lesson. i did some work experience, voluntary work and part time job (for money) hopefully increasing my application.
so my question is can i get into a good uni such as a russel group uni or top 20 at least. take into account i did do 3 years BUT to do new subjects not resits
ty for ur patients and sorry for my bad grammar, spelling ....its night time and im using a netbook (bad keyboard )

Probably won't get into the likes of Cambridge etc, but sure it seems like you have a chance with the Warwicks etc. -

Well all the universities you listed there are all respected but would be more difficult to get an offer from Warwick and UCL compared to the rest. -
Re: What are my chances of a good University?hmm what about the courses at UCL/warwick that require ABB/AAB(Original post by *Hakz*)
Unlucky there mate.

if i tally up my best a levels (hopefully getting a* in both physics and chem)
it will be 3 a*.
will it be likely to get an offer.. as i am predicted a* and im going to work like crazy to get it
i wanna rather go ucl cause its easier to get their and my parents wont let me go live in campus.

Re: What are my chances of a good University?I don't see that as bad. You will have good grades. Are you applying for this year and have you written a personal statement?(Original post by sabik123)

Re: What are my chances of a good University?With a prediction of 3A* then I guess your chances will be pretty high.(Original post by sabik123)
