I dropped out of A Levels to do nothing

I literally claim PIP and hate btecs and access courses that lead to uni. I am excused from working. Does anyone have a family that doesn't think about the future and only thinks a degree is a degree and you can go to uni with BTEC? Like you can't get into law or medicine can you?

Why do you 'hate' BTEC etc - you hate studying, or you hate these subjects?
What qualifications do you actually have?

Hate those subjects. I got GCSEs and AS level. I hate the fact that you can't go into top 5% of unis and they lead to apprenticeships more. I hate the way they are structured and perceived as easy.

Have you considered doing online courses for AS levels?
Or doing a foundation degree at your local tech

The University of Law does accept BTECs for their law degrees. In fact, they typically require a BTEC with a DDM grade (Distinction, Distinction, Merit) for entry into their law courses. It’s great that they offer this pathway, especially if you’ve taken a relevant BTEC subject. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check the specific entry requirements on the website or reach out to our admissions team to ensure you have all the information you need.
It's understandable that you're feeling frustrated, especially when your family might have a different perspective on education pathways. Law and medicine often have stricter entry requirements, typically favouring A-levels or equivalent qualifications. That said, some law other schools also do accept BTECs combined with other qualifications, but medicine is generally more rigid.
It's important to remember that everyone's journey into higher education is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. If you're focused on specific career paths like law or medicine, A-levels or more traditional qualifications might be a better fit, but it's always worth checking entry requirements for the universities you're interested in. Don't hesitate to make the choices that align with your own goals and preferences.
Wishing you the best with your future plans!!!
