Scared please help. I want a good future

Well, my GCSEs were terrible..I received my GCSE results in 2016 and I had only managed to secure a C C in maths and English.
My friends who had failed maths were able to commence a level 3 Btec whereas I, for some reason was put on to a level 1 btec.
I completed my level 1 and now at the age of 17 I am doing level 2. This means I will be doing level 3 whilst I am 19-20. If I get into uni I will be 20..
My first stress is that will unis accept level 2 as equivalent to GCSE as I only have 2 and will I definitely get into uni as my teachers are always confused as of why I'm doing level 2 but if I pass level 3 will I get into uni and is it weird to start uni at early 20 ( I will turn 20 in august before uni period so will have just turned 20)


Thank You!!!

Starting Uni at 20 is completely fine! It’s only slightly older than students who have taken a gap year and begun. Don’t worry about it.

Thanks! That's not my main concern, my main concern is will UNIS accept Btec Level 2 as gcse as I only have maths and english.

It really does depend on both the course, and the Uni. If you know what course you’re interested in, email however many you want to and ask!

What course at you looking at? Normally it says under entry requirements what is equivalent to a levels

I’ll have a quick look

I had a look and it says that you need English and Maths GCSE at a pass, so a C, which you do... but then I got confused with the BTEC bit... I’ll screenshot the picture

That’s not very nice Emz... AidanAdam is working very hard on getting his dream job, and you never know what a persons past is! And what’s wrong with uni? Unless you’re dead certain on a career path, getting a degree is a good decision!
