Re: I Didnt take "traditional" A levels - can i still get into Nottingham/aston/cass??I think you'd find it hard to argue that English isn't a traditional subject (don't know where you heard otherwise). Business studies isn't the worst of subjects either.

Re: I Didnt take "traditional" A levels - can i still get into Nottingham/aston/cass?English is traditional, but graphics and business not as much so. I just think i havent got as good of a chance as someone taking for example, law, english and history...(Original post by River85)

Re: I Didnt take "traditional" A levels - can i still get into Nottingham/aston/cass?that is very true, business, english and accounting are all linked to management, but ive already decided to do graphics next year instead of accounting, because i was told that ive performed better in the subject.(Original post by silk192)

Could i still write on my personal statement what ive learnt from AS accounting even though i havent carried it on at A Level
and would AAB (predicted) in (business, english, graphics) sound attractive enough to the unis i want to apply to coupled with my straight A's (almost) at GCSE, and pretty strong personal statement. -

been told u perform better in a subject doesnt mean u will enjoy it.....yea u could use skills learnt from accounting in ur ps....ur grades r fine but wouldnt guarantee u an offer, it will be down to ur ps and ur reference
