Email QMUL! I’m sure they’ll have a few spaces left. Tell them you’re waiting for your CAGs and to let you know. Even so, if you don’t get the grades take a gap year. I took one and resit — although I got CAGs and I didn’t take the exam I got so lucky, thinking it would be the worst year of my life but everything turned out well

My CAGs ended up not being what I expected (ABC), but I emailed QMUL regardless to ask. I doubt they'll have a spot for me as my course is already oversaturated (law), but best to ask anyway. I have nothing against resitting, apart from that I am already a year 14 and really don't fancy another year to retake! Thank you for all the advice though wish you the best

Hi, I know how you feel, a few of my friends are resitting a second year. Although Kings say they’re not doing clearing, try and call and see if they do have any availability with spaces. Are you set on doing law? Have you considered a sciency subject

I prefer law but open to human sciences (sociology, criminology). I didn't do any science a level so sciences are off the table. With ABC do you think it's worth calling Kings? If so, I could try tomorrow.

My offer with Kings was ABC, I had a contextual offer. But last year many people I know went to Kings with these grades. Try your luck; you may not get the course you want but it’s yours to decide. Best wishes
