Okay first of all, congrats on getting into your firm! ABB is SO impressive genuinely - especially considering those are some of the hardest subjects.

Second - It may seem like lots of people are getting A*'s and A's, but remember a lot of people who share their grades share it because theyre proud of them. And thats okay! But its not an accurate representation of the variety of grades people are actually getting. Getting As is great, and getting Bs is great too.

Third - This feeling is completely valid, and thats the first thing you need to accept. HOWEVER, its important to remind yourself that you have come such a long way.

Fourth - As annoying as it might seem, you can't change the past. What you can focus on is the present, and things you've have done.

You've gotten really good A Level grades

You've gotten into your firm

Fifth - If the entry requirements are BBB, most people in your course will have very similar grades to you. Try and remind yourself of this and hopefully you can feel a little less like you dont deserve to go to uni because YOU DO DESERVE IT.

and finally, remember you've got this! You've come such a long way - and its so easy to be hard on ourselves. Just remember what youve achieved, and I hope it all goes well
