do unis usually look at your grades or your marks obtained at A-levels?

Grades, generally.

Some ask for both like Imperial/UCL for Maths and Cambridge for everything.

Damn! All 4 of my A lvls are 3rd choice

[Jtking3000]

what a fascinating read. +rep for you!

[cchloee]

i find the list a bit confusing :\
so i'm certainly going to do math, chem, bio for AS and am still very undecided on which 2 subjects to do out of further math, psycho and music as the 4th and 5th AS. heeeelp

[xfirekittyx]

If you have one 1st and two 3rd subjects (I'm not talking about Oxbridge here) what would be the likelyhood of not getting an offer due to subjects applying for Psychology?
Due to illness - only took Drama and Theatre studies last year, this year teaching myself Eng lit and Psych. Am i better doing an intensive chem course than doing drama - even if I would probabaly end up with either an A* or A in Drama but probabaly a B in chemistry?

Someone got rejected?
What is your problem?

No, I didn't apply for any of them, ofc my grades weren't high enough for Oxbridge but were for what I would have done in LSE. I like LSE as a Uni ofc it's just crammed full of people whose money got them there instead of their genuine intelligence discipline. I got offers from Bristol and Durham and decided against Durham because of it's location/general demographic and against Bristol because Cardiff's social sciences dep are strongers and my fees are halved for staying in Wales.

Hey guys, I just started Sixth Form today and realized I made a mistake with my A-Level choices. I've picked Bio, Chem, Music and Maths and am going to take Bio and Chem to A2 but am not willing to take Music and Maths to A2. As a result, I am thinking of taking History instead of Maths (I'm not a fan of maths, I'm just pretty decent at it :P)

So, Bio, Chem, Music and History for a potential medicine applicant. Would I be looked down upon for my lack of a third science?

If it helps answer the question, I got 12 A*'s at GCSE and have done enough voluntary work and work experience to know I really do want to study medicine for the rest of my life

I have a feeling you need maths for medicine.. but if you don't then that sounds great, bio and chem are obviously good for medicine and history is a great essay subject which shows you have diversity (unlike a lot of med. applicants) Music not so much but if you're only doing it to AS then that won't be a problem
Also, voluntary work and work exp. is great, just not sure whether you have to do maths (if you do, I would recommend swapping music for maths, as music is the least strong subject out of yours, then you would have an extremely strong set for medicine)
hope this helps, good luck

I'm genuinely suprised that Sociology and Psychology are put with the likes of business, media and film.. I've heard they're extremely 'academically rigorous'
