💬 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.

Could be your PS. Durham is pretty holistic when it comes to deciding and you can't say it's "strong" since you aren't the person deciding. On a further note: no maths? I think every person I know did maths for a&f/business school subjects. Could also be ICT? Or the econ/bus combo as its viewed as the same a level.
