I really want to study English Lit and Creative Writing together as a joint degree. I've now heard back from all of my 5 choices, with no rejections, so yay! But there's a catch.
One university has rejected me for lit with creative writing, but given me an offer for just lit, which will be upgraded to an unconditional if I firm.
Whilst that is amazing and would take so much pressure off, I really love creative writing. I understand I can still pick creative writing modules anyway, but the thing that really appeals to me about a joint course is that instead of doing a dissertation, I can do a creative writing project. If I do straight lit, that is taken away.
Would I be wasting an opportunity if I rejected the unconditional, even if I don't really want to do the subject it's for? I'm afraid that if I accept it, I'll hate the course, but if I reject it, I'll fail my A Levels and be stuck with nowhere to go
