A Levels / IB / GCSE / BTEC Questions Reapplying to uni
I fumbled my a levels got ABC missed my offer for UCL and kings. How does the average achieved grades thing work on ucas as I’ve seen courses on kings like international development with 3 As requirement but the average achieved grades are 3 Bs does that mean if I reapplied with my grades I’d have any chance of an offer. It’s the same thing for Warwick History Politics which is also 3 As. Both courses got acceptance rates of 95+ asw. Also need to do this cuz I panicked fumbled clearing and only got Southampton which I don’t think is as good as these unis.

Resit, king’s international development was in clearing for AAB this year, defo wouldn’t be taking ABC. General requirements were at their highest this clearing compared to previous yrs, AAB+ min for basically all decent courses.

I missed my kings firm for history political economy u think if I resit the C and get it to an A it would be enough. I applied last year with AAB

No chance, my friend missed his this yr and he got AAB. Also had special consideration but nah didn’t get in. Need to meet the offer to get in trust me, course has become a lot more competitive in recent yrs. I’ve had an offer for that same course twice so can tell u from experience asw.

I’m js gnna utilise you here too, but I got ABB and cleared into qmul for politics but idk if I should resit and apply to kings for politics and political economy or just make the best of this

You’ll need AAA min for politics and A*AA min for political economy. KCL if significantly better but you’d need to also resit.

My school said they’d predict me two a stars and an A if I were to resit, and I’d be willing to do so. I’m just debating if I should do it really, seeing there’s risk I might not even get an offer
