Will it be possible to transfer to University of Manchester from MMU? Basically, throughout my A Level years, I struggled and grades fluctuated from B's to E's. I had to resit my AS Levels and managed to get 3 B's for Maths, Chemistry and French. I didn't do well at all in my A Levels, got CCD for the same subjects. Plus everyone was saying Edexcel made the papers harder since they took out the January resits (which I agree).
A few months later, I got into an HND course for Business Management at MMU through Clearing. However, my family and I were wondering why I did so badly on my A Levels. In trying to find the causes, I went to see a psychiatrist. He told me I got a learning disorder and said that it could develop from an early age, but it would become more obvious as demands increases. This made sense to me, as I was doing ok for my first years of secondary school, but my performance declined as the years went by.
I have only done 1 piece of assessed work, a 96% on an accounting test. I know it's early days and I have lots more work yet to be assessed, but I think I will need at least a first to stand any chance of getting a transfer to a better University (e.g. Manchester, Sheffield, Kent). My A Levels were not representative of my potential and capabilities. I felt I was handicapped and restrained from getting the grades I could get. I'm going to phone other Universities now, but should I wait until Clearing to try my luck? How likely would it be for the transfer to be successful if I started from Year 1 again instead of Year 2?
