Due to the new A level reforms, I've read that Unis might put extra weight on GCSE's, is this true for people who DO take the AS qualification? My GCSEs weren't bad but they weren't A's in everything, and my AS grades at the moment are pretty good. I was predicted D'a for AS and in most of my tests I've been getting B's etc, so I'm hoping the same for my exams next week. But obviously I'm going to be really demoralised if I get really high AS grades and a uni doesn't accept me because despite having good AS and predicted grades my GCSEs weren't all A's. I don't want to go to Oxbridge or anything but I want to do History of Art at preferable a Russel group such as Birmingham, Manchester or York. This isn't a competitive course as law or Medicine but if they were to look at my GCSE's for this programme what subjects would they particular be interested in?
