Don't have the right GCSE grade.

I am quite confident with my entry requirements but the only thing that is scaring me is the GCSE requirements. I am applying for Reading, Middlesex, Kent, Brunel and maybe City to study Psychology . Both City and Reading are asking for a B in English but I only got a C. Do you think they will accept me?

Universities are much less flexible about GCSEs than they often are about A levels, and if the universities have specified that they want a specific GCSE grade, rather than just the basic set of passes, applying there without it is a swift route to the reject pile.

try resitting it

You could've done one of the November resits and then applied with the B (or, preferably, higher) grade in hand. As Carnationlilyrose has said, it's unlikely that they'll budge on their minimum GCSE requirements, especially when it's in a core subject like English.

I took my GCSE English in 2013 so I think it was before the reforms so i wouldnt have been able to do it November. Back then I thought i`would be fine with a C

In that case, I suggest you replace City and Reading with universities whose require a C in English. Alternatively, you could find somewhere to do the new English GCSE privately but I don't know how viable that is in terms of doing coursework, not affecting your A Levels and so on. Applying to universities with higher grade requirements than what you have or are predicted to have isn't a good idea.

I will just have to change it. At least I still got Kent which would be my first choice. Thanks for the advice
