I'm currently studying A levels in : Law, Government and Politics and English Lit and Lang. I am on track for A*AB ( did well in my resits ) , if i took a year out and loaded myself with extra curricular activities and tons of work exp, travelling abroad and applied with extenuating circumstances ( which i have had ) would it realistic if i applied to Russel group universities ? The maximum grade i can get for English is a B ( teacher has completely messed it up for me ). Bearing all this in mind i was on CCD for As ? :/ could someone help me out please.
