university blacklist's

Business studies shouldn't be a blacklisted subject, in fact I think it isn't.

In assessing applicants taking A-levels for all Cambridge courses, Trinity takes into consideration not only the individual A-level subjects offered but also the combination of subjects. To be a realistic applicant adequately prepared for studying here, A-level candidates will normally need to satisfy certain basic requirements. The following Table lists the most commonly studied subjects at A-level according to four categories: A1 and A2 contain respectively Science and Arts A-levels about which we have no general concerns regarding suitability; B lists A-levels we consider to be of more limited suitability (the University subject(s) for which we deem each of these A-levels to be useful is/are specified in brackets); and category C consists of A-levels we consider suitable only as a fourth subject.

That's not to say I necessarily agree with the list, or that other universities go by this list - If I remember correctly, someone at my school last year got an Oxford offer that accepted Critical Thinking.

i'm stuyting business studies, personal finance and maths at A level eventually wanting to become an accountant or some thing along those lines. i chose these subjects because they suit the sort of thing i want to do as a career. but the personal finance and business studies are both subjects which aren't respected by universities and are both in the so called 'Blacklist'. I'm quite confident ill get 2 A's from these subjects and the a B or maybe an A from Maths.

I'm wanting to go to either the University of Leeds, York, Manchester or Sheffield and im wondering if i've blown my chances of getting on to an announting or Maths degree at one of these because of the subjects i study.

whats the rg

You've blown your chance cuz of Personal Finance, sorry. Business Studies would have been fine if you had 2 respectable subjects alongside it. By the way, why are you only doing 3 AS Levels?

blacklists doesn't need an apostrophe

This sentence needs a capital letter, quotation marks and a full stop.

ok my school didnt offer economic's,

i read it somewhere that it is along with subjects like health and social and media. but who knows hopefully they will accept it but if not i wont be going to russell group uni and all the grief ive given my sister for going to leeds trinity will back fire haha.

Haha, you can't dish out grief about unis and then study personal finance. I havent even heard of it now but it sounds like a shocker. What do they teach you? I bet its like 'here is how you make a weekly budget'.

May I suggest that you invest in a box of Cadbury's Roses and then find the most helpful English teacher in your school and ask her for a lesson on the correct use of the apostrophe. A very significant proportion of the educated population of this country, including university tutors and employers, are very annoyed by its [no apostrophe] misuse. It's [apostrophe] seen as the grammar crime, above all others, and really will hold you back in life.
