Am I at a disadvantage?

No, as long as it is clearly explained in your reference and you don't take the same subjects.

I resat the year and have offers from Bristol and Nottingham (so far)

Currently in Y12 but want to retake the year and do new subjects, so technically I will be doing my A Levels over 3 years, but only because of subject changes, and NOT retakes/bad grades.

Will I be at a disadvantage when applying to RG uni's?

Thanks

Nope, I resat my entire AS year because of bad subject choices and grades.

I am now doing my A2's and have recieved offers from KCL, Durham, Leeds and Exeter

Trust me I know how it feels, your'e over reacting

BUT, I did get rejected by LSE.
I'm just being honest

That's great news!

But one thing, did the uni's you applied to ask for higher grades to entry becuase you sat A Levels over 3 years? for example if a typical offer was ABB did they ask for AAB or even AAA?

That has really reassured me and congrats on your offers!

Here's screen shots for the offers from Leeds and Exeter.

Seriously don't worry, unless you're going to apply for medicine or dentistry, you shouldn't worry.

Yes, certain institutions will take it into account and will certainly see it as a weakness, but these are the very top universities.

So long as your not applying for medicine , and even then you can still make it work !

Ahh well that is a relief. Were you in the same or similar situation to me?

Congrats on your offers!

I got CCDE in my first set of AS, AAAC 2nd time round. First set weren't certificated though so unis technically don't know what I got, but i assume they can have a good guess

Also reading above posts, my offers were "typical" and weren't bumped up a grade

Thanks and good luck!
