•
You intend to do a history degree, and highlight the % of unis that would accept T-Levels (make the teachers squirm). Alternatively, you can specify your top choices for degrees and specify their entry requirements, where you say that they don't accept T-Levels or BTEC, and you are confident that you would meet the grade requirements given the opportunity to do the A Levels.
•
You are wholly intent on doing A Levels, be it through the college or privately. However, in order to do them privately you would have to pay extortionate amount of fees in order to pay for the NEAs for drama and history (quote these exact figures from private exam centres - usually in the thousands)
•
The specific jobs that you want to go into, after contacting a list of potential employers or professionals through your network, you have substantial evidence to suggest that employers would have a strong preference for A levels over T-Levels and BTECs. I don't know what job you want, so you would need to research this
•
You have researched the professional qualifications that you need to do to get into your desired career (e.g. accounting), and they do not accept T-Levels or BTECs as entry requirements, and only accept A Levels. You would need to provide evidence of this.
•
The apprenticeships that you have researched and want to apply for require A Levels, and not BTECs or T-Levels
•
You want to apply to a foreign university, and T-Levels and BTECs are not accepted there. They do accept A Levels.
•
You have the capability and determination to excel in A Levels, despite them being more difficult than T-Levels
•
You have references on your academic ability from your previous teachers to suggest that you can progress and do well in A Levels
•
You have a longing and intense passion for history, sociology, and drama (not sure why you would, but hey). You would otherwise consider it a complete shame that you would have otherwise missed out on such an opportunity. In fact, you have already read ahead in the A Level textbooks required by the college for the subjects, in anticipation for doing the subjects next year (actually do this if you are making this claim). You have even done extra reading during your spare time for the A Level subjects e.g. recommended summer reading on specific history books and specific sociology books by universities (google for these e.g. Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Warwick). Essentially, say you have turned it all around and you would set yourself up to be the college's poster boy and valedictorian, but don't sell it too hard.
•
You are so determined that you are willing to pay for any difference required in funding in order do the A Levels regardless.
•
Your previous circumstances that made you absent from school no longer applied and you have sorted yourself out. You would be willing to commit and go full out for the next 2 years for your A Levels regardless of the circumstances and challenges that you will face (actually do this and don't just claim it). I think this is the main thing the college wants evidence of, despite what I have listed out above, and it's likely what will win them over.
