I'm in a similar situation, I got BCD at A Level in Physics, Chemistry and Maths, and it makes me pretty sad to think that someone with BBC in say Media, Sociology and World Development would be better qualified than me. Like the rest of you, this is the first time in years I have thought I might actually get a chance to fly before I'm 50, as I have no way of funding it myself.
I'm going to apply anyway and just hope they will appreciate the subjects I took and not the grades I got.
If I don't stay optimistic I don't know what I'll do!
