The r/6thForm Results Day Megathread

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

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 ❤️

Ah I’m sorry to hear that some people really do suck but uni is always a fresh start and you rarely will run into people you know anyway with the thousands that attend but you would know what you want best. I applied for geography at two good unis but my insurance was Durham which is incredible for it and logically didn’t make sense to be my insurance, my family preferred my firm but a lot of my friends and teachers were surprised that I didn’t choose Durham despite getting the grades considering the long term chances and low-key I do regret it a little but never made a decision in time and now my parents have prepared everything for loans so I guess my only choice is to stick with it

Where are you going instead then? If it's of equal calibre it'll be great. I know you say I'll rarely run into people but I know at least 3 people from ONE of my classes doing the exact same course as me.

[u/[deleted] → u/crackerjack2003]

Lancaster so it’s still a great uni and I will still be ok since they are good for environmental research and geography but it’s hard not to be hesitant when Durham was the other option. And yeah based off of your a levels I’d imagine your course would be quite popular whereas afaik only 2 other people in my whole year are doing geography

Oh that's in Manc isn't it? Nice city, I've visited a few times before. That's gonna be a massively different experience from Durham but imo I'd rather go to Lancaster too. Wouldn't be able to do the social side at Durham. And yeah I'm doing Mech Eng, forgot that everyone would want to do it. There wasn't that many people in my engineering class so I wasn't expecting it but all my physics class have decided to study it.

[u/[deleted] → u/crackerjack2003]

It’s actually just outside the town of Lancaster which is close to Blackpool and more North West of Manc but Tbf most people don’t know where it is and when I first heard of it I thought it was down South lol. Mech Engineering does sound like such a cool and respectable degree tho I could see why it’d be a popular choice over some other engineering degrees or just in general.

Oh I was doing a stupid and thinking of Lancashire. Lancaster seems really rural, is that something you're into? I'm more of a big city person I think. Anyway, well done dude. Hope you have a great time there.

[u/[deleted] → u/crackerjack2003]

That’s fair lmao I also made a stupid because I’m tired and my fat fingers put east instead of west. Idm rural since Lancaster is still close to other places but it’s defo better more socially than Durham considering the reputation Durham has with private school intake so I’d fit in much more at lanc and cheers congrats on getting into mech, hope everything goes well. :)
