On MN?!
It is so difficult to know what to advise ds. He wants to do English as one of his choices. Obviously English Lit carries more kudos, but does it? I know a girl who has a place at Oxford for Law and she is doing Eng Language. So if seems to be a myth that Oxbridge spurn all candidates with this A Level (unless doing English degree, of course). So presumably other top universities don't care if you have Lang instead of Lit.
Actually ds would quite like to do Lit and Lang to hedge his bets, but I notice the exam board is WJEC for this and ds tells me that this board is notoriously "half-witted" (his words). I was told (30 years ago) that the boards matter and my school went round choosing the most difficult boards for each subject (typical). Is this info hopelessly out of date?
