Where should I be thinking of applying
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I would like to ask for some advice on which university I should be thinking of applying to and subjects I should continue at A2.
My AS grades are as following.
Economics-A
English language and literature-B
ICT- A
Business Studies B (getting it remarked only 3 marks off an A)
Portuguese - C (getting it remarked only 1 mark of a B, bearing in mind this is my first language
)
I decided to carry on with Economics, English and ICT for A2 and think my predicted grades could between the lines of A*AA or A*AB.
I was wondering if I should bother with retaking Portuguese this year as I know I can do better.
The courses I m interest on at Uni are Business and Economics and International Business.
If it has any impact I have only been living in the UK for 5 years and go to a bellow average sixth form college.
I m also very interest on the Land economy course offered by Cambridge but know I wont be able to get in with these grades/Subject, and I might consider taking a Gap year if it helps.
My GCSE's are not that great, I did mostly foundation exams due to my lack of English at the time.
English Literature- C
English-C
Art and design-B
Business Studies-B
Statistics-C
Maths- B (retook it this year at my sixth form)
R.S.-C
Physical education-B
Science- Distinction*
Sport-Distinction*
ICT- Distinction*
Thank very much for any responses
