Is this course too similar?

Hello! I’m currently finishing up my a levels and am fairly certain I have failed history as I haven’t understood a single bit of it over the past two years 😭 I don’t want to resit history as it’s been a lot of stress over the past two years so I’ve decided to do a level 3 course in college, the issue is the course I want to do is creative writing and I already have done English language & literature a level so I am wondering are these too similar?

That’s what I think but people have been telling me that universities won’t like two similar subjects? I thought it only applied to taking English lit & English lang lit as two a levels but I just wanted to check

That's not always the case. It mostly depends on the course that u want to do at university, if it is competitive then they might be fussy with what A-levels they want but in most cases, universities won't care if you have got the grades that they are asking of you and that your subjects that you did at A-level are relevant to the course you want to study. I don't think it matters. Since you did English lang and lit at A-level, it will be easier to come to creative writing at university as you have studied similar subjects before.
