Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

My situation

Hello,
I wanted to share something with other students and maybe they could give me advice on something? I'm doing a 3rd year in sixth form, not to resit anything, just to get a few more UCAS points.
GCSEs:
English, C
Maths, C
ICT OCR (Double Award), Distinction
BTEC Science (yeah I know...), Merit
Geography, D
So in total, 6 GCSEs.

A-Levels in the first two years of Sixth Form:
ICT Cambridge Technicals Level 3 (Introductory): Distinction
Media, E (Don't ask how I got an E...)

In my third year of sixth form, i'm doing three subjects:
EPQ
BTEC Work Skills (just found out you don't get any UCAS points from this...)
GCSE Maths (Higher)

Would Universities accept someone who didn't do so well in A-Levels? I mean an E is bad, but it's a pass and a Distinction is the best grade possible. Looking forward to hearing from you great people out there :smile:

Have you looked at a foundation degree? You can then top this up to an ordinary degree, which you'd get funding for. (providing you meet the criteria)
