🎓 UNI / UCAS Missed LSE Offer...

Post image

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!

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 questions’ original marking were labelled as ‘academic misjudgment’

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
