A-level Biology entry requirments

The college I'm hoping to apply to requires two B's in A-level Biology, however for GCSE core science the higher tier I got a grade C but additional science is yet to be taken in the summer. What if I get a grade A or higher in additional science, would they still consider me? Is their an alternative route to A-level Biology?

I cant retake Core science as its too late.

That's very much so dependent on the college, so you'll have to contact them and ask! :h:

different colleges will have different policies so no one here can give you an answer I'm afraid :smile:

Depends on the school, so I'd suggest you go speak to them.
In my school, if you get an A in either additional, or your overall biology grade for triple you can take it, but otherwise you can't.

Entry requirements are decided by individual colleges so you would have to ask them. If they say they would require a B at Science then it is not too late to re-sit - the entry deadline isn't until half term. Go and explain why you want to re-sit, why you didn't ask earlier and ask if you would be allowed to.
