I havent even applied yet but i am about to. All my forms are filled out and everything personal statement is basically done. It's just im applying to German and International relations. I really wanna do German so bad. I did GCSE German but i was going through incredibly difficult circumstances which will be explained in my reference so im hoping mitigating circumstances gets me in as i only have a grade 4 in German (i missed a grade 5 by 1 mark or something stupid). I have really missed my German classes and i havent really felt the same since (ik that sounds stupid) which is how i realised i wanted to study it (a bit late ik). I am applying to Bath (i have an A in the discover bath programme) bc i thought i might as well i feel like i am going to be rejected from bath which idm its kinda expected. I am applying to exeter which has a grade 5 in german for the beginners programme which i thought easier maybe to get in? Royal holloway which does not have one, Cardiff and Portsmouth which all do not have a specific GCSE entry requirement for the beginners. II have obviously emailed all of them Exeter has not got back to me yet but Cardiff, Royal holloway and Portsmouth said if my personal statement is good i should apply. I thought i would apply to good unis and then go into clearance if i dont get in. Has anyone done this before? Do you think i am going to get rejected? How competitive is it? I am stressing out about it so much. Is German usually in clearing? Idm if its not w international relations.
