KCL not meeting GCSE requirement

Hi, I am currently in year 12 and I am studying all A Levels including psychology. I always wanted to study this at KCL however they require a 6 in maths and I got a 5 which I was very upset about. I've been told that A levels and recent study is more important so If I'm predicted all A*s and have a good personal statement, is there a slight chance? Please lmk

Not really. GCSE requirements tend to be non negotiable. Ask KCL to see what they say, but be prepared to resit maths.

(Btw maths is important to a psychology degree.)

Considering your application isn't the same as giving you an offer.

True. But I can't say anything rn either because I'm still in year 12 but you'd say even with all A*s no chance?

Unfortunately for you universities often use GCSEs as a first sort if they have more applicants than places.

I completely get that, i guess i'll just have to see then.
Thank you tho

Have you checked which other universities require a 6 in maths for psychology?

I completely get that, i guess i'll just have to see then.
Thank you tho

umm yeah like ucl they want a 6 in maths science and english, I have them for english and science, but its just maths. Other than that there's quite a few that say you need a 5

Let's just say for example there aren't more applicants than spaces (probably not possible but just a scenario) then? Do GCSEs play any other role? Because I did do quite well in all my subjects I got 8s and 9s aswell, It's just maths

I'm sure there are many that only want a 5. Do you want to study at any of them???

Yeah! There's city and queen mary that I also like, it's just that kcl was a dream for so long so its hard to get off my mind

So bite the bullet and retake.

Guess that's the only option. Do you know if I can resit before my A levels? Because the resits start literally tomorrow so too late for that
