UCAS application dilemma! Please help!

vv2006

Hey. I would like some advice on the Alevels I should continue with as I am considering applying to accounting and finance at bham uni, business management at bham uni, accounting for management at aston uni and accounting and finance/international business at warwick uni.

My AS Level grades are below:
Business A
ICT B
R.E C
Maths E

The entry requirement for the courses is AAB/ABB and AS Level Grade b/c
PLease could you advice me on what A levels would give a higher chance of getting into the course.

A2 Business, ICT, R.E. AS Level Maths
or
A2 Business, Maths, ICT AS Level R.E.

Please could you advice me on which subjects would be more suitable considering my circumstances. Also, during exam time I did have some family problems which will be stated in my reference from my head of sixth form....will admissions consider this?

Thank you in advance

I would say, considering the course you want to do, that you need to continue with Maths. Have you thought about any other courses?

I;m not even sure these are the courses that I want to do but it is somewhere along those lines,.

Id say for that course take ICT, Business and maths but only if you feel that you enjoy them enough to get the grades you need. At the end of the day its the grades that count not the subject (though i agree maths would be a good choice for that course).

Have a look at the entry requirements for the courses and unis you want to apply to and check whether you need any specific subjects. I agree that maths would be useful, but even having it to AS is better than nothing and it will be much easier to go from an E to a C at AS than from an E at AS to a B at A-level. I think you'd have more chance of getting the grades if you dropped maths and stuck with RS. If your referee has explained your circumstances, I'm sure admissions tutors will take them into account.
