Failed AS exams and now sixth form wont let me continue. Help!?

Hi i got my AS results yesterday and am REALLY disappointed having failed 2 out of 3 after feeling as though the exams went well and studying hard for months. I got c's in both OCR Religious Studies papers (PoR and ETHICS), but then got an E in Edexcel Business Studies and a U in OCR English. At my 6th form they require a minimum of 3 D's to progress to A2 and obviously I haven't met those requirements. Now I am a bit stuck because i dont know if i will be able to re-take the year at a college because it is too late to apply to most colleges and even if you can they are mostly waiting list applications. What should I do, i understand that some places usually do open up on GCSE results day but it isn't a sure thing. Id really want to do a Business and Management degree also. Help is much appreciated!!!

You should call up the colleges and ask when their enrolment days are taking place then explain your situation. They may allow you to enroll if they have more spaces available and if you're planning to go there, take all your qualifications with you.

Your current Sixth Form may allow you to retake the year there if they won't allow you to continue.
