Will the C in a level art affect my architecture application?
I take 5 a level subjects and my grades are currently:
Maths: A*
Psychology: A
English: A
History: B
Art: C
Im thinking of applying to Bath and Liverpool. Will the C in art affect my application?

Are you sure architecture is the right choice for you? It’s essentially a creative design based degree and career. Do you understand why you got a lower grade in A level art compared to your other subjects?

You have clearly not checked the basic entry requirements :
Bath - "We have a significant preference for A level Mathematics or Physics, and we have generally not been able to make offers to applicants unless they had strong study in Maths or Physics. We also prefer an Art or Design A level – if you do not study one of these subjects your application will need to show evidence of substantial exposure to art and design."
And btw, taking 5 A levels is daft - as you have discovered, you cannot actually give enough time to all subjects to get decent grades. Regardless of any ambitions re. Architecture, you need to drop at least one subject, preferably two, and focus on those.
