I got 1A* 3As 4Bs and 2Cs in my gcses so I'm apparantly meant to be doing 4 subjects at college. I am doing Psychology, History, Philosophy and Media. I hate philosophy. I know I want to go to university and i know I want to do history and then a pgce and become a teacher. I'm really sure of myself. Anyway, can I get in with 3 and general studies?? I really..am not happy right now.

Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
I read some places that general studies is recognised but not included in any conditional offers. SO, when it tells me they expect 21 units of study in year 12 and 18 in year 13- does that mean general studies gives me the extra? *aghh.. confusion. I don't even want to think about the stress of actually making decisions about this stuff this time next year!*
Oh and, I just read up on your life in your psychology post <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> Glad you've sorted out what to do and good luck with all your stuff this year.
Have you ever confused a dream with life?
ack, i totally dont have any idea about units! lol.. im still running on old A level system! just as well im doing my AS and A2 in one year without too much hassle, its too confuzzling!
i definitely think its a good idea to talk to your tutor, they hopefully will have a clue about all this stuff!
thanks for the wishing of luck <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> i just have to battle through boringness at asda and more boringness at school with stuff taking hours and hours that i could do in half the time :-\ thats the only problem with being in a class 2 years younger. ah well, at least i'll get a qualifcation out of it, and its better than just working at asda full time!! still cant wait to get out though <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
hope you sort it all out next week! let us know what happens <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

Anyways - what they will do is take teh amalgamation of points from you top three alevels(A2) (i dont have the tarrifs with me ATM)
Most places will take 2 AS in lieu of a third Alevel, but want 2 AS+A2s and 2 ASs.
Its easier to go for four courses in the 1st year, and then carry three on to a2 in the second, therefore creating a wider base of knowlage.
MOST unis discount Gen Stud for entry, but it can take account if two candidates are particularly equal, and one has and the other doesn't.
Hope that helps.
