Hi all, I'd like some help in getting an idea of what my university prospects might be as my situation is quite unusual.
I'm a mature student and I've just completed two A-levels which I completed alongside a job and community voluntary commitments. I got high marks on my assignments and my tutors said that I was an A-grade student. But I think I set myself a bit too much of a challenge by embarking on A-levels independently (I had tutors that I send assignments to get marked but I'm on my own apart from that) and consequently I got really behind on assignments. Therefore my exams didn't go too well.
I'll be taking an exam for a third subject next summer, and plan on retaking both of the subjects that I just completed exams for. I'll be taking a new approach to ensure that I'm able to keep on track.
My question is: If I were to do well in my exams next year, considering my journey so far, what standard of university might I realistically be able to aim for?
Since before I started A levels I've known exactly what degree and career I want to go into and I'm very passionate about the subjects around that. As a mature student, I also have good real-world experience. I'd love to be able to go to a good university.
Many thanks for your help,
Jonny
