Hi Dr Spencer, thank you so much for setting up this thread!
I'm a post IB applicant applying for English and was wondering if I stand a chance or not.
At GCSE I got 7A* 3A.I got 43 /45 points in the IB with 776 in Psychology, Visual Arts and English literature (1 mark off a 7). I also got a B (1 mark off an A) on my extended essay which I did in English. Since I am applying for English, will the 6 and the B disadvantage me?
I'm hoping the admissions tutors will take into account that English is subjective as a subject. I really want to be realistic with my chances as I'm reapplying (1st time round to cam) and I'm definitely not taking a second gap year.
Have a good weekend!
