Will I get into university with these grades?

I just sat my 5th year exams (Int 2 Graphics, Int 2 Physics, Higher English
Higher Art) and think I have got AABB.
In sixth year I am going to take Advanced English, Advanced Art, Higher Maths, Higher Physics, Higher Graphics and Higher Photography (6 subjects). Hopefully I will get at least 4 A's. If I apply for English Literature at Glasgow Uni this year, will I get a conditional offer?

I'm unsure because I have only sat two highers in my 5th year!! :s-smilie:

Work out your grade points on this table, add them all up.

i have just been on to UCAS and found this- this is a screenshot of university of Glasgow, English literature (I was that nice to find it for you :biggrin:

I hope that insert picture worked... If it didn't, here's a link to that page. http://search.ucas.com/course/entryrequirements/50858/english-literature?Lat=55.86424&Lng=-4.25181&Feather=5&Query=English%20literature&Location=Glasgow&Vac=1&AvailableIn=2014&page=1&providerids=1065&ret=results#coursedetailsmenu

The entry requirements for an unconditional are AAAA/AAAB from 5th year (all Highers), including Higher English and one humanities subject/language. For a conditional, you'd need AAAB/AABBB from 5th year, same conditions as before. The entry requirements on Glasgow's website explain best: http://www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/englishliterature/#tabs=2

Based on your current subjects, you'd be lucky to get an offer. Their usual applicants already have five Highers from 5th year and the university have become a lot stricter with entry requirements and want the results from your first sitting. It's an extremely popular course. You don't have enough Highers right now and I'd consider taking a humanities subject instead of Photography as that would be much more beneficial for your application.
