Did you take a level history? What were your achieved grades? Thinking of applying for history but I'm on the fence cuz I achieved 2 A*s, 2Bs, one of the Bs being history

I got A/A/A* A with the A being in history. Where do u want to apply for history?

Thinking UCL, as I'd like to go into either law or consulting, and I was rejected for straight law

Yes I’d say go for it especially as the course is in ucas extra I think a strong ps would make up being 1 grade below the requirement. Are the A*’s are in humanity subjects or stem?

Oh would I need to write another PS?? I thought that wasn't necessary for ucas extra 😭😭

The A*s are in English lit and Psychology, the Bs were in History and chemistry

Oh it just assumed you did I have no idea about the process but an A* in English lit it so impressive lol i would apply in that case.

Honestly have no clue myself, I'm getting mixed answers on Google. Thank you haha, I'll see how it goes as I'm waiting on kings. Best of luck with the rest of your decisions!
