I have an interview for a Humanities and Social Sciences Access to HE course next week at Hull College and was wondering whether the fact that I'm 19 and have studied at level 3 will hinder my chances of being accepted on this course for free?
During sixth form I was going through a rough patch; I became homeless and lived in a hostel and in turn I started doing drugs and whatnot which led to me not attending classes, exams, and just sixth form in particular. Thus I got U's in all of my subjects (psychology, philosophy and classical civilisation).
Now I'm determined that I want to go to uni and believe that an access course is currently the best choice for me, as I'm a hard worker but, like I said, I was going through stuff last year which led me to fall back on studying a lot. How much of what I said will either hinder my chances of getting on this course or hinder my chances of getting into a good university? And if I got onto the access course would I have to pay considering I've already studied at level 3 even though I failed?
