Hello, I'm looking to apply to university next year. I'm hoping to study chemistry. I'm completing my A-levels this year and am predicted A*A*A in the three I am currently studying. I achieved 4A's in the first year and in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics. I plan on taking a year out to work and save up money, but I'm also doing this because I was wondering what were my chances for applying to universities in London and perhaps even Oxbridge.
The main reason for my perturb is due to the fact that I attend university a couple of years ago and failed second year - being specific I didn't attend the exams as I disliked the course and wanted to redo my a-levels and pursue what really interested me.
I have two questions. One, do I still get the 2 years of funding that I didn't use from student finance? Two, what are my chances for applying to universities like Oxbridge and say KCL?
I didn't mention my GCSEs. They're pretty mediocre. I attained C's and redid a few of them to gain access to the A-level course (achieving A*s in them).
