I have not applied to this scheme, but find the form a little restrictive.

First of all, you can stipulate your degree type, but not your grade. I find that very interesting.

Also, for further education, you can not list anything other than A-Levels I.e. no BTEC national diploma or GNVQ Advanced options. Both of which are recognised as equivalent to 2 A-Levels at A*-C.

For example, listing a BTEC ND on their form, you would have to say 2 A-Levels and then for subjects "other". They actually get no valid info on your academic qualification.

Not a rant, I just think they need to broaden the scope of the form.

Good luck to all who apply. Sorry to those who have already had the bad news.
