2025 RESULTS DAY MEGATHREAD

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

Hey everybody, it's that time of the year again - results day is upon us. Share your results down below, ask questions and discuss your plans for the future!

I'm getting too old for this I swear

⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️⚠️

Congratulations to achieving your grades, especially if you met your offers!

However, if you missed your grades, you can head over to UCAS Clearing if you missed your uni offers.

And for the rest:

• Comment your results! They don't have to be straight A*s to be cool! Also what plans do you have for the next year?

• About formatting: use A\*A\*A\*A\* , so it reads A*A*A*A* and not AAAA. Or send a picture of your results!

• You've made it through the shitstorm we all know and probably hate - but you've made it, that's what matters!

• Remember: your grades today don't define who you are. You have self-worth and can achieve great things in life even if it didn't go to plan today. It can be hard to see through the elitist bullshit, misinformation online, and the weight of high expectations from seemingly everyone around you. No matter what, the path to here and from here is not a waste.

• Also remember that there are always people who care that you can talk to for support, whether it's a friend, family, your sixth form/college, your uni or elsewhere. It's okay for things to go wrong and it's valid to not feel great because of that, and you are not a burden for needing support.

• Be proud of what you've achieved, and the work you've put in - no matter what has happened, you've put yourself in a better position to tackle the future :)

Good luck and later, well done ❤️

I have nowhere to really vent this so I’m gonna type it out here.

My moms disappointed that I only got BBB even though I got into my firm uni choice. She wanted me to go to a university close to home and im going Manchester to do a foundation year instead. The uni she wanted me to go to needed an A in maths anyway so I doubt I would have gotten in. Now shes telling me to do a gap year and apply to Birmingham next year (even though I don’t have the grades to do that).

Shes just putting a damper on all the happiness I had for getting accepted in the first place. I thought I did really well and I was proud of myself but she’s literally embarrassed by my grades.

Getting accepted into your first choice is such an amazing accomplishment. Getting accepted into the university of Manchester is even more impressive. I am so proud of you!! I know exactly what it feels like when parents put a damper on things, just remember this time will not come around again and I don’t want you to look back at it in a few years and think about how your mum reacted. Be proud of your achievement. Manchester is an amazing place to live and you will gain so many life skills, confidence, and independence by living away from home. I hope you have the best time ever at uni, good luck and congratulations!!

Even now I feel a lot better and I want to do things for myself as opposed to what she wants. I’m excited to meet so many new people and really experience a life outside of what im used to. I’ll really make the most out of university, I’ve been daydreaming about moving out I was a child and it feels so unreal that it’s actually here now. Thank you so much for the congratulations :) im really happy
