Schools offers FM but DC didn't take it (block against another subject) - what's their position?

[happyhippiehippo]

I understand that for some courses where FM is 'desirable' etc, unis will look negatively at an applicant who applies without if, if FM was offered at their secondary/senior school.

In DC's case, taking FM was not an option (we checked) as it was blocked against another A-level subject they had chosen.

How do you explain this in an application and would they take it into consideration?

And actually, looking back, I didn’t actually even refer to any of those 3 unis!

@WombatChocolate No but the inference is there. As in many threads. That somehow the best at academics makes you a great engineer. It doesn’t. Also the thread was about a DC with no FM. So I can tell you exactly which unis will be out of bounds. The three constantly referred to for some inexplicable reason (not by you!)
