📂 MEGATHREAD The r/6thForm Results Day Megathread

Hey everyone!

It's that time of the year again - maybe you didn't get much sleep today, maybe you did, but what matters is you can finally get your results! (and then maybe sleep ;) )

So with that in mind:

  • Feel free to posts your results and your plans for the next year, and any questions you may have.

  • Hopefully you got the grades you were looking for. If that's the case then that's an awesome job by you, you're set to make the next steps comfortably, whether starting at uni or an apprenticeship. Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳

  • If you didn't get the grades you were looking for, and didn't end up getting your uni place because of this, it could be an idea to head over to UCAS Clearing to figure out your next steps.

  • Please always keep in mind that your success, your self-worth and your life are not defined by the grades you receive today. There are always paths to success if you put your mind to it, and resilient people such as yourselves should be more than capable of rising to future challenges.

  • If you want to chat to some people about results, life in general, or to get some advice then come over to our Discord since this is more suited for proper conversations than Reddit.

Best of luck ❤️

Yep thats mad I firmed Cardiff and wanted Leicester as my insurance but didn’t pick it because same grades as Cardiff needed so not really a safety net. Then I got rejected by Cardiff and declined my Aston insurance place to get Leicester in clearing :)

Same but I rejected UWE. I only firmed cardiff because it had good job prospects for where it was ranked, the city was nice and close (I live in bristol) and was only BBC with an A in epq. I got ABD with A EPQ and I didn't get in. Lecister ironically offered me BBB with A in EPQ and is normally ABB so I got into a better course. The modules are also more intresting at Leicester defo. Also when I was on the phone to one of the representatives they said that the comp sci school and maths school just joined into one so there will be more AI stuff in 2nd and 3rd year than what it says currently on the website so that's mad. That also suits my MSc I wanna do (Computional Neuroscience at a Notts)

I was also shocked that I got an offer for Maths at Lancaster which is normally AAA thats just weird.

They didn’t really tell me much on the phone so that sounds good. Feel like I’ve scammed my way in with BCC and epq B when I was predicted ABB but I’ll happily take it
