Hi guys, (I'm intending to study Psychology at Uni)
My AS Subjects are Psychology, Politics, English Literature and Sociology and EPQ all with predictions of (AAAAA) this year.
My GCSE grades: Maths (B) Cor Science (C) Additional Science (B) English Lit (A*) English Lang (A*).
I'm thinking of aiming quite high in terms of university choices: Bath, Kings College, Birmingham, Royal Holloway (not sure about last choice). Russell Groups are key for me as research aspects of their unis are one of the things I am most excited to take on.
Bath is HUGELY competitive due to its placement year. I am a hugely bright and academic student and my personal statement has been commended very highly by teachers and peers so far.
Bath requires and A in Maths GCSE. This is my only limitation. I'm so sure that my AS grades will outshine my GCSE grade. All other grades/aspects of my application would be perfect such as my incredibly relevant work experience within Kings College Psych department, Neurological hospital, UCL summer school etc.
As well as this, I know many Unis 'prefer' two sciences including Psychology (I've already dropped the idea of going to UCL because of this) I only have psychology but my Personal Statement is hugely biologically based, AS Psychology has heightened my Maths skills, and I plan on reading many biologically based Psychology books in order to prove that I AM competent at core science and Maths.
Should I give Bath a go and still apply? The only thing limiting me is that Maths grade which, if I achieve my predicted grades this year surely I would prove a more wortht candidate than others who lack in areas I excel in.
Thank you for your help
