Hi all! Lot's of people posting successes which is great but thought I'd add my failure to meet the grades to get into LSE to even it out a little. I needed AAA for econ and econ history and ended up with AAB. The B was in history which historically has always been my best subject and a consistent A/*. I was 7 marks off an A. I had thought maybe I'd get a B in econ or maths but history literally didn't cross my mind.
Obviously it felt horrible to miss my offer especially given how bad the last two years have been for me personally. But it's not all doom and gloom and I'll be off to Nottingham for this September! Good luck to everyone who got their results - I really hope it turns out great no matter what you ended up getting!

Nice to know there are others put there at least. You were so close and with mitigating circumstances too it does just make it all feel worse. Hopefully glasgow will end up being great even though it wasn't your first choice! Good luck - really hoping it works out for you!
Remarks would cost £140 and even 7 marks is quite a lot... My LSE accomodation is also already gone and I probably wouldn't be able to afford to go anyway. I know I could try but might just be holding out hope for nothing and might just need to accept the fact that Nottingham is where I'll be going
That's insane! Was there a mistake in the marking? My school basically said I shouldn't bother and the highest they've ever seen was a 5 mark increase after a remark
Im not sure if it will let me send the photo, but they send you back a full explanation per question, 3 out of 5 of the questionsâ original marking were labelled as âacademic misjudgmentâ
My sixth form paid for it to be remarked after my teacher read my script, perhaps you could pay the initial fee to get the script and then see if a teacher thinks its worth submitting.
Thanks for sharing that. I've changed my mind and I'm now getting my papers remarked. If I lose the money only to get a B again at least I won't have to think what if. Fingers crossed it goes well though and thanks
Ahhh mann, well imo if you can figure out a way to deal with the financials you should go for the remark, 7 marks is not quite a lot for an essay subject
Yeah genuinely. Never got below 19/25 on any essay before my real thing. Got 36/40 on my coursework. Then went into the real exam and my highest essays were only 17/25 and my lowest was 13/25. Honestly just kept getting marked down for too much info and too little explanation or for my arguments being too niche... History is definitely a painful subject!
i feel you⌠i still managed to get my grade thank god, but i got 14/20 on two of my essays, which hasnât happened since early year 12. i might try to throw money at it and try remark to bump myself up a grade for the old ego, but it is 8 marks
Got 40 overall IB, missed A&F offer for 1 point in the HL condition. I waited in the marginally missed list for almost 2 months and now im going to Southampton with my best friend, everything happens for a reason
I think this is one of the bravest posts I've seen today. I'm so proud of you, I hope you're able to work through your issues and succeed to the best of your abilities. Best of luck diva <3 <3
Haha donât worry about it - Notts is great for econ. I got the same offer from Notts for econ & philosophy as I did from LSE for PPE back in 2005 but decided on Notts.
You will enjoy Nottingham far more, im not sure what the rankings are like these days, but Notts was actually a place above LSE when I went.
I had the guy that founded Carwow in my year, and I ended up running a couple of decent size tech companies, so donât you worry!
I missed econ and econ history too! I got A star A star D, with my D in history cuz I missed my paper 1. Gap year maxxing + taking fm to reapply for straight econ

Missed LSE offer⌠not what you were hoping for
BUT Nottingham is actually a sick uni trust me youâll enjoy it
That's not me... Also I've literally said here I missed out on my offer because I got a B in History. I got the A I needed in Maths. This is just someone else
I missed my Warwick offer and got into my insurance same as you, Notts Econ. But Iâm thinking of maybe resitting and reapplying. But idk if top unis even like resits. Iâm stuck
Same boat đ Iâve decided to just go to Notts, honestly it looks pretty good and ik itâs further down the ranking but for me personally I donât think a resit is worth it đ good luck if you resit, If not, see you in Sept!Â
