Has anyone been there/knows whether it's worth putting down as one of the four options?

Also, wtf is with the need for an A grade in English GCSE? I'm curious

By the way yeah I know at my level right now I won't be able to get into any school anyway, I'm applying in a years time, and for architecture =P

I'm pretty sure a requirement in english GCSE is to make sure you have a good grasp of the language and will be able to write essays or whatever coherently, otherwise you could be fantastic at art, but shit at communicating or explaining ideas which is important. I thought it was usually C grade and above in english anyway?

(Ps, don't put yourself down! Your sketchbook is coming along nicely and you'd be surprised how much people improve in the two years of A Level, especially if they're passionate about improving. If you want, after A Level you can take an art foundation course first, and go into architecture from there, something a lot of my art friends are doing :))

Thanks for replying :)

Nah, it's an A now, which is gonna be a problem since I got put in foundation (for no good reason! grr) so I could only get a C, and I did.

Hmm, but I'm doing history for a-level, that's a lot of essay writing and explaining so it could make up for the C in english? Or I can stop being a lazy arse and resit the exam <.<;

Really? That sounds good, I'm less worried about not improving in time, thanks!
