    Yeah the grades they required so you can apply for economics were 5 GCSE A-C, an A in maths and a B in english + AAB at a-level

    I have an A* in english but B in maths

    no i dont do any sciences for a-level im doing sociology and economics and have already got my A in philosophy for A2

    Yeah i am going to most likely pick BCU im going to see it on the 29th
    and might check out aston while im at it

    Im not from Brum btw i just love the city

    how bout you you thinking of going to any uni's in birmingham and what are you gona take?

    Well I had never even been to Birmingham as I am from Yorkshire but I really loved the course and wanted to move somewhere quite far away from home, Birmingham just seemed right
