I got a U in one of my AS levels, will university turn me down?

I doubt it will matter at all unless they specify they want a certain grade in the fourth AS I got an E which is just bad and got offers from Durham, Liverpool, York, Exeter and Kent

I have a friend who got a U in Physics AS, dropped it and studied AS + A2 Geography in one year and went to Reading for law.

Was that on top of his 3 other A2? So he had 4 A-levels in total?

He did 3 in his first year (including Physics) so he was forced to pick up the AS + A2 Geography, so yes I suppose he ended up with 3 A2 grades + a U in his AS.

I got BCDU at AS level and so far, I've got 4 offers including Queen Mary, Royal Holloway and Reading. What really matters is the quality of your personal statement.

Oh okay, that is okay then. I have the same as him then I suppose. I also want to study law

If it's not too much to ask, do you have any info on your friends extracurriculars?

I got a U in one of my AS levels, I wish I had dropped it before I took my exams but i I didn't.
I got AABU

I know if I work hard enough I can end up with 3 A*s for A2, but will applying with a U in a subject I have dropped affect my chances even if I meet (and go beyond) the A2 grades uni's ask for?

I was going to re-sit but it's causing me too much stress, so I'm just carrying on with my 3 A-level subjects and resisting modules for the one I got a B in.

I think the bigger problem is how on earth did you get a U? Did you spend a year doing absolutely nothing, then purposely not answer any questions in the exam?

It's more common than you might imagine, at my (state school) sixth form at least a third of students got at least one U out of four AS levels.
