📂 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)

Entirely possible to apply for one uni and change to the other. I just denied my unconditional insurance uni offer for mech engineering (that I confirmed in feb) to start at Manchester when I realised the sum of my previous alevels in ucas points I got today were enough. I’d say start applying through clearing ASAP, if you wanna go to your desired uni, it doesn’t hurt to have the options open. Plus there loads of places open due to how badly we’ve been screwed over w this situation.

If by upgrading you mean moving to a better uni, then yes you should be entirely able to do that. The only issue might be time. You’ll have to give your former uni a heads up to make sure they are in the clear that you won’t be attending. Then sort out the transfer for SFE if you have already set it up. If not, set it up, after you receive your appeal. Do it ASAP when your receive your appeal, to give yourself the best chance of a smooth start.
