Help needed - retakes during application??!!

Of course they won't look down on it! So many people do resits, it's unbelieable.

Personally, I would not put my grades down. I'd put them as blank until they are all up to scratch.

Your teachers/Head of sixth form or whatever, make a statement about you, too.

Within this, will be predicted grades. If the predicted grades meet the offer, you're most likely to get a conditional offer. Then, as long as you meet their conditional offer, you will get into their university.

I got AAABUU at AS. However, one of my A's wasn't accepted by the Uni, and one of the A's I didn't want to carry on.
So I was left with ABU. I got them to predict me AAB, despite getting a U at AS. :h:

Whoa your teachers must really loooveee you!! :p:

However im applying with finished A-levels. Not with AS's obvo. *i think i mentioned it already...* :yes:

So i just thought they might have diff rules for people putting 'pending' for A2's when resitting... :frown:

Unless you have not certificated them, you will have to enter the A2 grades you got as well as the fact that you are resitting them.

Your problem for Vet Sci is going to be that they probably will expect the highest grades and at the first sitting. Resitting is unlikely to be a problem for Biology, however.
