How do Russell Group unis feel about re-sits?

Hey, in my AS results I got an A in English language and maths, a C in history and general studies and an E in chemistry. In year 11 I took AS drama and got a C. I'm dropping chemistry this year but it's bad so should I still put it on my application? I'm thinking I should put the drama instead. I really want to study history at a Russell Group uni, I only need to re-sit one unit to be able to get an A next year but I'm worried incase they won't look at my application because of having a C this year. Should I still focus on history or should I think about another topic? Thanks :smile:

You need to declare all of your results on your Ucas application, so you will need to include your Chemistry result as well as your Drama.
It's well worth resitting a unit to up your grade in History. I retook two as units this year, one in History and one in Politics. I applied for A,A,A courses with as levels at a,b,c (and an a in a subject I then dropped) and got offers from Durham, York, Nottingham, Bath and Newcastle. I now have a place at Durham for October.
Good luck. If History is what you really want to do, work hard this year and go for it!

Ok thank you! At least now I know they won't be put off and I still have a chance. Good luck at Durham! :smile:
