Help What do I do?

Hi,

I currently do Biology, Chemistry and History as my A-Levels and am getting A's but my GCSE results are subpar including C's in Math and English Lang. What careers can I do that are well paid and what courses will I need to do. Could you also inlist the universities that would allow these grades.

Thanks

Your GCSE grades mean dip**** if you have A-levels, you got a C and that is what universities want.

Yes like The RAR said, universities just require at least grade C in both Maths and English Lang.

It's all about your A-levels now.

if ur applying to courses like medicine and dentistry ur GSCE grades make up 15-20% of ur application.
If ur looking at less competitive courses and/or unis u'll probably get away with just Cs

Could you elaborate on what you mean by less competitive courses? (Examples possibly)

If ur looking at well paid jobs with science A levels i don't think u'll find many apart from Med/Vet/Dent
Biomedical sciences, Pharmacy, Neuroscience, Microbiology are all the sort of courses available with Chem and Bio A levels.
Their salaries aren't bad you can earn up to 50k a year I believe but not right after graduating.
