Changing Alevels are greenhead college

How likely would it be that Greenhead allow me to change my option? If anyone has tried did they succeed because i want to change it to medical science which isn’t that popular so maybe they’ll allow me?

Crazy, I also go Greenhead (A2). If you've already started/already in A1, then no. You're given either 2 or 3 weeks at the start of the year to change options. At an interview, you can easily change it without fuss. At the grade confirmation interview thing, it;ll probably be harder especially as anything medical or science-y is competitive. I'd ring or email admissions but do keep an open mind that the course may be full and if so they can't do much.

Good Luck

I'm not sure what the process is for swapping A-Levels when you've already started as I didn't do it but you'd probably have ti tell your tutor and get in contact with the head of department for that subject. You could either ring reception and they can direct you where to go or see of there's an admissions email you can get in contact with. I'd do it ASAP just to increase the likelihood of actually being able to change subject.
