I just found out my school has this ridiculous policy where you have to declare ALL your module grades even though on UCAS it says they're optional It's compulsory to do AS Citizenship until we finish year 13 and we sat unit 1 in June, in which I got a U (didn't try as I thought I didn't have to declare it since I didn't have an overall yet). Will this severely affect me?

Getting a U is a straight fail... so i thought that meant you don't have to put this on. It's just like you haven't even sat the paper.

No no no, like I said my school is still making me declare it as they'll force me to resit the paper so I was wondering if this will disadvantage me.

You would put the grade as pending, as a U is not a grade.

Didn't it get changed so that even if you get a U you still have to? :/

Hahaha, so true! I miss my red TSR

So can anyone else enlighten me? My AS grades are good though, so I was wondering if that would compensate for the horrendous U grade...

It's hard to say. I'd argue with the school rather than taking it as fact that you have to declare it. I would probably go so far as to involve parents and those who are higher up in your school.

That said, if they are insistent, it could either be seen as "oh well, it's just citizenship, it's not an important course" or "citizenship is a 'soft' subject, why did they get a U?"

Your best bet is to contact the universities directly. You don't have to give them contact information, or a name, you can just make a general inquiry.

Hope that helps good luck.

I applied this year and put all my AS grades as pending. Apparently that's kinda naughty, but I got two offers so I didn't mind!

I would put the U as pending if you can.

The annoying thing is they're making everyone declare it so it's unlikely they'll change it. The head of year 13 is a total nob too, and I think he's stubborn AF so I'm screwed I might do that, but I hate phone calls so I'll find a way to email them or ask at open days Thanks
