Does retaking A levels privately decrease chances of an offer?

Makes no difference anywhere I've worked.

Hey so I am resitting one of my A levels this year to get into my dream university. I was a grade below the offer last year in one subject (Maths) and am applying again as I didn't want to settle for somewhere my heart wasn't set on. I will be getting my UCAS reference and predicted grade through a private online tutor.
However I worry that doing this will decrease the chances of me getting an offer? The university in question considers A level resits equally as any other A level candidate so in theory I shouldn't have anything to worry about. Although I can't help feel a bit paranoid that resitting privately with a tutor and exam centre will decrease the odds of me getting in this time, as I really love that uni so much and would so upset to not receive an offer.

if you don't mind me asking what tutor do you use? I'm also resitting maths and really struggling to find a tutor so any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I re-sat two of my A-levels and am now at university. As someone who has gone through it, hopefully I can calm your nerves by saying that despite being a re-sit student, I got offers to study law at Durham and Exeter among some others.
I will note that KCL immediately declined my application as they don't accept re-sit students but that's my fault for not reading their policy.
Being a law student, having a high LNAT score may have assisted my application for Durham but Exeter don't consider this, just in case that is relevant for you.
Just out of curiosity, what is your dream university? I contacted Oxford and Cambridge before my application cycle and, building on top of their automatic PR reply of 'just tell us your MCs', I had conversations with admissions that made it quite clear I would be a disadvantaged candidate for them without having mitigating circumstances for my first set of bad grades. From my experience I would say that it's just these two universities that seem to care that much.
Best of luck with your re-sits and applications anyway.
