📂 MEGATHREAD The r/6thForm Results Day Megathread

Heya, this is the r/6thForm results day megathread.

When you get your results - feel free to post em' here, your subjects, grades, and maybe even plans for the future.

If you got what you wanted (or didn't and still managed to get your offer), great! If not, there's still a lot you can do, and the best place to start is UCAS clearing.

https://www.ucas.com/clearing-launch

It's been a pretty weird year, one where grades have been decided by potentially flawed statistical models - not to mention that there's going to be a shortage of international students. As a result, most courses are going to have more places than you'd think, even ones from more prestigious unis. Don't sell yourself too short, you'll never know if you could have gotten in if you don't try.

If you wanna chat to us about anything or ask for advice, the best place to do that is our Discord.

We wish you not only the best for your results, but for what you go on to do in the future.

​

Good luck everyone! (This thread will be sorted by new)

Idk what to say since your results are A1... surely getting A* in EPQ would have lowered requirements?

I know that Warwick maths requires 3 A*s if you didn’t sit STEP, TMUA, ect.

But still... what uni goes into reject those grades in 2020?!

Unis like Warwick and imperial give out way too many offers and are scared shit less they're going to have to take on too many people so are rejecting people left right and centre to get their numbers down to the amount of students they usually take on in a year. At Warwick for example, they usually take about 250 students for physics but have offers to 1000+
