Durham or St. Andrews for English Literature?

I'm so so torn between these two! Any insight?
Hey I'm sorry to pry but I'm just wondering what are your GCSE grades. Reason I ask is I'm about to finish my GCSEs and I'm expecting around 4xA* 4xA and 2xB and was wondering if you think Durham would accept me for English lit with that ?

hi! my GCSEs were actually pretty much the same (3A* 5A 2B) so you have a good chance :smile: From what I know Durham is very personal statement dependent so whip up a good un and you're likely to get an offer! gooooood luck

I ended up firming Durham and insuring St. Andrews, based on the logic that my results would determine where I went (i.e. whether or not I got an A*) but given my exams didn't go as well as they could have, I really should have insured somewhere with lower entry grades :s-smilie:
