English - UCL

I want to study English at UCL, however I don’t have the best GCSES (2 6s in English lit and lang and 5s for the rest). I am Doing a level English, sociology and geography. What is the acceptance rate for this course and would it be hard to get into/not possible with my grades even with good A level results and a good personal statement?

Have you looked at the specific course for UCL English or why have you decided on UCL?
I think it's best to look at lots of different unis to see which course is most appealing to you and also consider the location and other things about the uni before you set your mind on just one.
I have looked on the website and it says for BA English you need AAA at A-Level and a 6 in English language GCSE and a 4 in Maths GCSE.
Do you have predicted grades yet for your A-Level subjects?
If you get high enough grades for your A-Levels then you can definitely get in with a good personal statement.
