Will AS resits harm entry into Russel Groups?Hi,
I may have to retake two of my exams - maybe even have to take two more for the second time.
To what extent would this harm entry into a cause such as Politics and Philosophy at a Russel Group University?
Thanks in advance. -

Re: Will AS resits harm entry into Russel Groups?I think the likes of Oxford and Cambridge might twitch at your application but if you improve your grades to the result required I don't think most of the Russell group will mind at all.
I think the only time it might hinder you is when for example;
A kid gets 3 A's no retakes.
You get 3 A's with retakes.
they might choose the other kid... -

Re: Will AS resits harm entry into Russel Groups?If anything they like for you to mention if you are taking a resit if you state something along the lines of "you achieve my highest possible grade" or something because It shows you are determined to do well. I recieved offers for 3 Russell group universities for a pretty competitive course with AS grades BCC. I didn't believe they would accept me but hey
Let them know I don't think it will affect anything at all
