I've found that many unis do not see a levels and Btecs as interchangeable. So if it's between a 3 a level student and a 2 a level and 1 btec it will go to the 3 just off of those points.

Mine isn't a BTEC - it's similar but it's a CTEC. The unis I've spoken to (only the ones I'm applying to - and Oxford because that was an option before I substituted it) take it in my D* as an A* and give it the same weighting. They told me it's because of the "difficulty" of CTEC but yeah.

I’m waiting on History, don’t worry I am sure you will be fine

My friend applied for history 😊 he ended up having a Cambridge interview which was on Monday. Where did you apply to?

I haven't applied for a fifth choice yet as I want to see what offers I could get and then see if I should apply for a lower/higher uni.

LSE is a dangerous game as you're 3 grades below and it's so competitive. Personally I would've recommended that you went for an ABB uni as your aspirational choice but you never know until you try. Good luck!

Hi! I phoned them up as I have some access requirements, including 2 mental illnesses and a learning disability. I asked them if it was worth applying to LSE with my grades and they said that they'll look at my PS too, and if it's good they'll lower the offer for me.

That's entirely wrong.

Congrats on your offers! St Andrews and Durham seem so similar to me, I wanted to apply to St Andrews but I wasn't sure they'd take my CTEC. What would be a potential firm and insurance if you get 4/4?
