flowersinmyhair's Y13 adventure

Hi, I'm flowersinmyhair and I am going into Year 13 this year. I do A-levels in Biology, Geography and RS and I'm hoping to go to uni to do Biology. This blog will hopefully show the process of reaching that goal .

As someone who is also going into year 13 and doing biology, good luck!

which exam board do you do for biology?

AQA, what about you?

I do Edexcel A (Salters-Nuffield), it feels like barely anyone does it

Yeah won't lie i don't know of anyone that does

I forgot to mention in my original post that I am predicted a B in a biology and Cs in geography and RS, I am hoping to get AAB though (the As in biology and RS).

that ain't great predicted grades. better get at least that. preferably more like A*AB. Because most decent unis need at least As and Bs, some need A* grades as well

the uni I want to go to requires AAB and they are the highest grades out of the unis I'm likely to apply for

yeah though if you're predicted BCC are you https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2023/biological-sciences?&countries=gb getting into unis that need AAB offers?

You're four grades lower than the predicted, that probably won't fly. I've been rejected from unis with the same predicted grades as their offer. For decent unis if you're not at least 1 predicted grade below, or at the predicted grade, it'll probably be a reject - there are many stronger applicants than you.

But I hope you get AAB and get at least as good grades as myself, even with all my disruptions and personal circumstances. You're going through a 6th form, I'm going through self study. Good luck.

They are not my UCAS predicted grades, my UCAS predicted grades are likely to be AAB. I know what I am capable of and there are circumstances as to why they are not as high that I am not willing to share with you.
