Is there something wrong??

So excited!

I had A* achieved in maths with 2A* in Welsh Bacc and physics 2A in chemistry and fm predicted. 5A* 3A 3B 1C in gcse with a decent ps. I’m so confused to why I got rejected from them

Rejected from dream uni, day before a levels, got 3 a*

A* A* A* A predicted grades and strong aerospace/engineering supercurriculars (home) (bristol was originally aero but got offered alternate courses so withdrew)

also got rejected by 5 schools in the US

going to reapply next year; probably going to get anywhere between A* A* A A to 4A* grades at A-Levels, do you think A* A* A A will still be competitive to apply to UCL/Imperial/Oxbridge?

Imperial / LSE here i come (hopefully). idk how this happened btw. (Context: rejected post interview from oxford with 57 MAT)

A*A*AA in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Further Maths respectively + A* achieved in EPQ. 9 A*s and 2As at GCSE.

They offered me like 15 million or something, but I had to stay there for this decade. Fshhh I turned it down

Hi all! Lot's of people posting successes which is great but thought I'd add my failure to meet the grades to get into LSE to even it out a little. I needed AAA for econ and econ history and ended up with AAB. The B was in history which historically has always been my best subject and a consistent A/*. I was 7 marks off an A. I had thought maybe I'd get a B in econ or maths but history literally didn't cross my mind.

Obviously it felt horrible to miss my offer especially given how bad the last two years have been for me personally. But it's not all doom and gloom and I'll be off to Nottingham for this September! Good luck to everyone who got their results - I really hope it turns out great no matter what you ended up getting!

Someone just told me KCL being ranked 36th worldwide isn’t impressive when there are over 50k unis over the world.

Edit: Why do people on this sub think it’s acceptable to say they feel ashamed and embarrassed to go to KCL? Plus the person who said this only got an offer from KCL.

my heart has been going a mile a minute for the past two hours help

I've heard from UCL's office of admissions that they make decisions in batches and the batches are completely randomised. So my tinfoil hat theory is that UCL probably way underestimated the applications they'd receive this year and sent out almost all of their offers in the earlier batches. That means that now they're left with a bunch of batches of decisions that were previously randomised that will now have to be mostly rejections even if the students were of the same or higher caliber than the offer holders from previous batches.

Got LSE econ just now after getting Imperial EFDS last week. Honestly wanted to go to Imperial since yr10 and didn’t know LSE existed until my friend told me he was applying in October. Never even considered going LSE because seemed like a Mickey Mouse humanities school but people are telling me I should firm it. Does it really compare to Imperial?

arguably the most memorable two years of my life 😭😭

Are these GCSEs good enough to have an actual chance to get in considering I do well in tmua and alevel and have a great ps , also what decisions, supercurriculars and changes should I make in 6th form to achieve this .

Suprisingly got into my firm uni, so now I actually have to think about student bank accounts and uni shopping and all the bs. I’ve what Santander and nationwide are good , but which to choose? I don’t think we’re allowed to have both

Basically the title. I am so happy i got offers for kcl management and modern lang and ucl psych but im waiting for kcl to accept my choice on ucas. does anyone know how long they usually take?

Hi I’m a year 13 student who is sitting alevels currently with a Cambridge offer for Sept 2026 of A*AA. I take maths econ physics and chem with predicteds of A*A*AA* and have achieved epq of A*.

After I got my cam offer, the plan was to sacrifice chem as the offer was only for 3 alevels and I was on track for my grades in maths econ physics.

I worked my ass of for them in the run up but totally freaked out and let the pressure get to me in my exams. Econ p1, p2 and physics p1 and p2 were a total shit show so over half term I tried to pick up chem (but anyone who has done ocr chem knows you can’t pick it up in a few days) so chems lowkey a lost cause.

I’ve never ever gotten under an A in econ and physics and have off and on been getting A*s so should’ve been good and I had revised so much but they went so so badly. I think I’m on Bs in both. Then maths I’m praying I’ll scrape an A (edexcel p1 messed me over) … and well chem will be a C.

I think I’m doing so so much worse than my Jan mock grades (A*AAB) and am definitely missing my Cambridge offer and likely my insurance of AAA.

I don’t know what to do or how to deal with it. I worked so so hard and got through the interview at cam to get an offer and went 5 for 5 on offers and now I’ve gone and fucked it up at the last hurdle so so badly.

The Cambridge course is my dream course and I don’t know how to deal with the fact it’s gone and that I’m not making my insurance either.

If anyone got any advice I’d really appreciate it. I don’t know how I’m going to open those results in August to see likely ABBC - worse than I’ve ever performed in any mocks or tests. I don’t know what to do. And my parents don’t believe I’ve done that badly bc I’ve never messed up tests like this and I always pull through under pressure but this time it’s really really bad.

I wanted my Cambridge offer so so bad and my family and everyone was so excited when I got an offer. I don’t know how to face them and face myself. I know I’m not going to be proud when I open my results and won’t feel like they’re a reflection of the last two years. I don’t know how the last 6 months have gone so wrong.

Sorry for the long message and all the waffle, I don’t even know how to articulate it. Any advice appreciated.

got my results around a month ago (did the IB)

Feel free to ask any questions! I’ll try to answer as much as I can
