retaking A levels

Hi, I'm retaking my A levels for the 3rd time now because of a few extenuating circumstances. Do you recon I have a chance for LSE/UCL? I don't mind less competitive courses I just want the uni as they are my targets. I'm a UCL drop out btw. And also would it be more desirable to retake all 3 subjects or just a few I didn't do well in? I did maths, further maths, economics. Thanks.

If you are reapplying to UCL then you need to talk to your personal tutor or other academic staff about 'coming back' and see if thats possible, and how that is managed. For LSE, remember that you will need to list your previous Uni study on your UCAS application and they will also expect your reference to be from that Uni. They may also want to see any grade transcript from UCL and understand the reason you left. They will not want to be difficult - its just they need to know if you can realistically complete a degree with them, and what support you might need. Its therefore worth emailing LSE to see what information they might need before you apply.
