Hi everyone, so I received my Cambridge and Edexcel grades for my AS level and got the following: A for History, A for Literature, B for Math (however I’ve sent for a recheck since it was very close to an A) and a C for Biology.
Biology completely shocked me since I had gotten an A on the mocks and never gotten below an A on class tests and midterms. And I had worked incredibly hard. I’m still convinced that something has gone wrong with my grading and asked for a check (I was also very satisfied with how the exams went).
I am going to applying for Law soon at I have ambitious choices such as Oxford and King’s (and maybe even LSE but still debating). I have also chosen Manchester and Queen Mary. I am going to sit my LNAT soon and hopefully get a good score on that.
Now for my real question, I know that if I work really hard next year, I can get an A* for History and Literature and get an A for Math (I will drop Bio and do an EPQ instead which hopefully will be A*/A). However, will universities HAVE to see my AS Biology grade? It feels really embarrassing since I’ve never gotten such a low grade. Will this completely ruin my chances at getting an offer at the universities I’ve chosen? For additional info, my IGCSES were 2A*s and 6As.
Please give me any advice, I have been crying since yesterday about this.
UPDATE of REMARK: I went for priority marking so have gotten my Math grade and it’s gone up to an A! That’s good, still awaiting news on Biology.
