Do you think I could get in?

Right, I'm currently in year 12 and I will be applying in September. I really want to go Surrey to study Information Technology but I don't know whether my qualifications will be even taken into consideration:/ The website states I need to get either AAA-AAB or D*DD The problem is that I am not doing just pure Btecs or pure A-levels but 1 Btec, one Cambridge Tech and one A-level. (Business Studies, ICT and Public Services) I'm just worried that I may not stand a high chance of getting in because I don't do any traditional A-levels. I'm predicted a Distinction* in ICT, Double Distinction in Public Services and a B in Business. I'm on the track to get these grades, but will it be enough?

A good personal statement will go a long way.

I wasn't predicted the grades Surrey required but was made an offer for a grade lower due to my personal statement.

Ah I see! Any tips for my personal statement ?

Recall on your life experience, any international travel etc and link this with your course and how it would assist you in settling in at uni.

I would also consider starting your personal statement with an interesting quote relevant to your course. Your personal statement should stand out and will make a change for the person viewing it.

I've heard that personal statements do not play a major role towards the offer.

It varies. Some departments will read each and every one, and will put a lot of weight on them, others won't.
