Not declaring spanish gcse on ucas

Hi guysss , basically as the title states i have unfortunately flunked spanish gcse.
to be honest i simply didnt care so i failed it and gained an E grade.

This caused me to gain 7A* and one E at GCSE. screw me right???.
so i was thinking if i simply did not put my spanish gcse that isnt lying its literally me missing out a bit of info?.

atleast its better than boosting my GCSE grade because at that point i will undoubtedly be noticed.

So my question to you is should i just leave the spanish gcse out or should i boost it to a C?

P.S. Screw you Spanish

My boyfriend was forced to do critical studies at a level and got an e/d so he didn't include it and nothing happened

Although unless your boyfriend has graduated then he's still not in the clear. I'm aware of at least 3 students who were removed from their degrees a few years into the course when their fraudulent applications were found out.

Your boyfriend being lucky enough to attend a university that didn't mind when they found out about his fraud at the start of his second year (this is when universities can match results against the national pupil database) isn't a reason to encourage another person to submit a fraudulent application.

He graduated 3 years ago from Sheffield I'm not saying do it I'm just giving my experience of it

I'm not trying to encourage the OP to go through with his/her plan to lie about/omit important information on his or her application but surely those three students would have committed fraud that was more substantial than missing out one grade in an irrelevant subject? I can't imagine universities making a fuss about it well into the course unless the subject the OP was studying for was Spanish which, given the note saying 'screw you Spanish' at the end, is unlikely.

One of the cases I know of was exactly that. Someone on a medicine degree who didn't declare an early AS attempt (with low grade) that was picked up. Unfortunately for medics they are held to fitness for practice which means even the smallest lie in an application can be enough to lose you your place.

The rules on declaring grades where clarified about 3 years ago. And the checks on qualifications were tightened up for 2012 entry (when grades meant the difference between a university getting funding or getting penalised). So what would have been ok and unlikely to be picked up on for someone applying in 2010/2011 could cause problems for someone today

Fair enough, I suppose. Did that person ever manage to get back in to do medicine or was that the end of the line for them?

I don't know where they ended up after they were chucked off the course. But any reference from the university would be obligated to explain the circumstances surrounding the removal which isn't going to be helpful in finding a place elsewhere. Plus after 3 years of student finance that would leave 2 years with no funding on a new course.

I'm the same as this. I got 5As and 5A*s, and then an F in music GCSE. Will this put me at a disadvantage? :/ I've got a certificate with it on, so I guess it means I need to declare.

I didn't even sit the exam, though...I refused, so that grade is merely from my coursework, which I did well at unfortunately.

It wont disadvantage you.

If you're worried ask your referee to explain that the grade is based only on coursework.

I can't because I've changed schools since then, but oh well. I hope that universities don't penalise me for it
