    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
