Accepted by whom? For what?

You do not need A-levels to be a pilot, as has been stated here many times before.

Dan, I refer you to my post on this thread. (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=181558&perpage=20&pagenumber=2). 'Mucking up' A-levels and expecting just to go right on and take ATPLs is not at all the same thing as saying A-levels are not required to be a pilot. You do need at least the determinaion, application and hard work that A-levels take. If you failed your A-levels for lack of these qualities - and have not learned from the experience - you may find the ATPLs beyond you.

BMI701EGCC,
i recently finished college where i studied a BTEC national diploma in sport and exercise science, not exactly the most applicable subject for airline pilots! if you want to go to college, those subjects seem to be fine, as now im in my second month at OAT, ring up the school you want to go to, and ask if those subjects are applicable.
