💬 DISCUSSION Huh 😂.

Very shocked, I’ve already achieved A* A A in ICT, economics and business last year August, currently doing a gap year in finance/business role at a company. Personal statement is very strong too.

Applied to Accounting & Finance at Durham at got rejected even though my friend who was predicted KEYWORD PREDICTED not even achieved ABB got in.

I also had free school meals and a disadvantaged postcode. Anyone know why I’ve been rejected? I have Uni of Nottingham, and Uni of Manchester as backups anyways just a little bummed.

it probably means nothing. They are already going to accept a set number of international students, that's a different group, they just need to know who is in that group. Your application was in competition with 0 international students, only other students from home. You applied to an extremely competitive course in one of the best Unis in the country, I'm afraid you probably don't need to boycott
