Hi so I’m sending off my ucas application this week and I can’t decide on a final option for my choices.
I’ve put down University of Liverpool, university of Manchester, Queens University Belfast and University of Stirling to study English Literature.
I think my fifth option will either be Newcastle university or University of Leeds.
Newcastle is asking for AAA-AAB for English Literature
Leeds is asking for AAB for English and Comparative Literature
I like both the courses but Leeds seems like a better city from what I’ve read online. I also like the comparative side to the degree but I only mention English Literature in my ps so that might look bad.
My problem is also that I’m not sure if I would receive an offer from either as my AS results were Sociology A English Lit B and Politics B.
How likely do you think it is that I would receive an offer if my AS grades are slightly low. I am obviously aiming to get them all up to As this year.
I’m also considering some lower ranked unis such as Leeds Beckett but I’m worried about the job opportunities I would have if I go to a less prestigious uni.
what do you guys think? Is it worth applying to Leeds/Newcastle?
