I'm a little scared. I've recently (a month ago) decided to do history of art at university, but i've never studied it, i've read a few books on it, visit galleries in my free time (i live in london, im lucky) and am genuinly interested in art, however, im really new to it but have a strong passion for it. Is it too much to compete with other students who have wanted to do it for longer and have read more and have more experience with it?
Also, I really want to go to Cambridge to study it (my first choice), however, im afraid my gcse grades arnt good enough (i know i'll get really good grades for my AS's because i feel bad for not revising for my gcses and getting the grades i got). I got 7 A's and 2 B's... i know they're okay grades, however, i also know they're mediocre compared to Cambridge students' and do NOT reflect my potention (btw, i did not revise for ANY of my exams - was going through a rough patch - wrong time in my life, i know lol). although im going to desperatly try to get in... i want to know if its too unrealistic, firstly with the history of art course, and secondly with Cambridge. I really need your advice (those who do history of art or attend cambridge) and would really appreciate it.
im so scared, this is my whole future...
