Educational waver and Paratroopers.
Hello,
I’m set to receive my a level grades tomorrow and I have plans to apply to sandhurst after I complete my war studies degree I’ve deferred to next year, it’s an unconditional offer. I’m reasonably confident I’ll get the UCAS points required but still a bit uncertain as I wasn’t strong at the subjects I chose, apart from the military history coursework I completed on the second world war which I did very well in. Say I don’t get the a levels required but have the required ALIS points and a degree, is it feasible I can still enter? Secondly, my aim is to enter the Paras but I’ve heard that if you don’t get a place in your chosen regiment you might not have any options left, so is it recommended to enter a standard infantry regiment and then seek to transfer to the Paras once you have some job security?
Thanks in advance.
(edit, I got the required grades)
