Hi, I am currently a year 12 student who didnt do their GCSE,s due to COVID-19, Is it possible for me to do it in november 2021?
I got a grade 4 and I am looking to get atleast a 6 and if yes how do I apply and will I get my results before the UCAS deadline.

This is perfectly okay.

You would just put the GCSE resit as a 'pending' qualification alongside your A levels and Unis would include this as an extra condition on any offer. Once you know your grade, inform the Unis so they can add it to your application..

I have another question, would I be able to choose what type of exam to take such as the higher paper or would I be forced to take the foundation paper?

That is entirely up to your school.
Just remember that the highest grade you can get with Foundation is a 5.
