I think you need to do some emailing around to universities. Will they accept your results as equivalent to ABB? Most don't count critical thinking. And Sheffield say if your taking a BTEC and A-Levels your A-Levels must come from their Acceptable A-Level list. And they want a B in Maths at GCSE so you could end up with an automatic rejection there unless your planning to retake.

Aston actually want AAB for their course, so currently your a fair bit short of that.

Yeah the only uni I'm taking a risk is with Sheffield due to my GCSE grade.... With Aston they're pretty lenient as I saw people getting accepted with ABC. My personal statement and reference also states ive been going through personal difficulties which have had an impact on me during college. I'm studying law and politics which are there also my btec is ict which is also there on their list. Critical thinking we were made to pick it up during A2 /:

Ah ok if you've had personal issues that is slightly different and if its mentioned universities might be more lenient. However do email Sheffield regarding the GCSE grade. Otherwise it could be a wasted choice.
