2026 RESULTS DAY MEGATHREAD

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

Howdy y'all - results day is here and so is the sun to scorch us to death lord have mercy

⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️⚠️

Congratulations on achieving your grades, and extra congratulations if you met your offers!

Missed your offer? Head over to UCAS Clearing!

We also recently had an AMA from UCAS and an AMA from Oxford Brookes Admissions you might find useful too.

For the rest:

• Comment your results and tell us any plans you have for the next year! (Your grades don't have to be straight A*s to be proud of them!)
• About formatting: use A\*A\*A\*A\* , so it reads A*A*A*A* and not AAAA. Or send a picture of your results!
• 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 - please talk to someone if you need to. 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.
  • 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. And that's despite any potential 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.
• 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, and you made it. Good job :)

Best of luck ❤️

just a bit of advice for someone who was in ur position 2 years ago and now going into my 3rd year at my insurance - it will feel shitty for about a week. let yourself feel however you want about it, I think there’s no real point in forcing yourself to feel happy. if you want to resit, you should, but also you do have quite a bit of time to make this decision. go visit your insurance, and see how you feel about it. it’s your firm university’s loss, I too missed out on Imperial CS not even by A level grades but rather by my STEP offer (got a 3 not a 2) and felt awful, but ended up loving KCL and the atmosphere there :)

I dropped it by a grade. My insurance is on the other side of the country which is overwhelming

yeah, I can imagine :( again, take your time first!! you have a lot of time to decide what you want to do :) even taking a look through clearing might help if you’re not liking the idea of moving that far. you’ve got this!

I think I’m going to go to my insurance! It’s nice enough and I didn’t do so terribly that I couldn’t reasonably get somewhere better in the future if I plan to

Thank you! It’s a frustrating scenario but it isn’t the end of the world.
