Can I leave a GCSE off my UCAS application?
Hi, basically I’m going to be thinking about my UCAS application soon. I passed all my GCSEs apart from one which was media and I got a 3.
My school didn’t have a sixth from so I switched to a sixth form college to do A-levels. Even my sixth form college don’t know about my 3 in media at GCSE. It is a separate exam board to the rest of my GCSEs (EDUQAS).
I would of automatically left it off but then I saw on here that it can be bad and make the application be withdrawn.
What should I do?

You need to declare all qualifications, so you will need to put that qualification on your application.
You must list everything. UCAS is very clear about this.
It’s grounds to be removed from the application cycle if you don’t, so not worth risking for the sake of something most unis won’t care about, (IE a stray grade).

Ok thank you both. Idk what my college will say with the unknown qualification popping up lol
If they’ve accessed your Personal Learner Record (which they will have done when setting up your ULN for your current studies) then they already know.

Hmm interesting maybe. I’m surprised they never questioned it though.

It is probably of no interest. Nobody will care about 1 low GCSE grade especially in a non important subject. Generally all universities are concerned with is English Language and Maths and 3 other GCSEs.

But it must still be listed.

Yes what I was saying that no university will care if they see it there. Perhaps I didnt make that clear.
