PPE applicant when resitting two a levels?

Which subjects were your a levels and which are you resitting?

Hi, I want to apply to durham, ww, ucl, york for ppe and probs bath/bristol for a similar course (econ+pol); but wanted to ask what people think my chances are given my stats?
IGCSE; 2 9s, 8 8s
A level (achieved 2022): AAB
im resitting etc and would work a lot on my PS. but i am aware this course is rly competitive

You need to check with the Universities if they accept retakes. There's a few who don't like them and only take the first try - especially with competitive courses.

im thinking of applying for ppe at ww, durham and york, and then economics and philosophy at ucl, and economics and politics at bath/bristol. Only issue is micromanaging personal statement
(they accept retakes)

Yes they accept retakes. However, you will be at a disadvantage when being compared to applicants who did it first try which is something that should be considered. This could be a make or break in extremely competive courses. Other than that - I'd definitely think you would have a chance if you bump up those grades to at least A*AA with that A* preferably in Maths. I'm assuming you are taking a gap year so I suggest you use some of that time to bulk up your personal statement with experiences/further reading in the subject you would like to study. Also, if some of your universities ask for an interview- that would likely hold a lot more weight and be much more of importance.

Hi there, I’m in a similar situation with very similar grades. I had a ucl place but am not really too keen on the course anymore and would rather PPE. I just wanted to ask how the reapplication process worked for you considering resitting a levels (I would just be resitting maths) for these unis which are similar to the ones I’d be applying to
