    my school didn't offer a single subject on that list on the first page. i don't think i can judge because i've not got a clue what most of them are.

    In my opinion this is rubbish. English language obviously doesn't teach the same skills as literature- they are two completely seperate subjects. Somebody that exceeds in literature may struggle with language and vice versa; I can't see as to why any university would look down upon language at all in preference for a literature a level- it's entirely down to the course you choose for university!
    Cambridge took a chance on me with English Language. Perhaps they don't know what they're about?

    And I forgot , I had Psychology, an "ology" as well - they really were remiss.
    And "Theatre Studies" - what were they thinking of!!!

    I should really write and hand my degree back. Didn't they know good universities don't accept these subjects.
