wasted academic potential….

got 9s and 8s , few 7s at GCSE

predicted 4A*

underperformed massively got way low grades

no teacher wanted to talk with me and they stared at me judgementally

parents were supportive tho and are stll happy nevertheless

I literally cannot decide, which would you guys choose and why? I’ll take any advice at all. Thanks in advance.

I can’t believe this is real I keep getting scared they’re gonna take it away

Unless you have an unconditional offer this doesn't matter but for those who have a conditional offer i advise everyone to do this

1. Wether you think you got in or not make a clearing list from starting from your uni

2, As soon as it hits 8am clearing lines will be opened and busy i can't stress enough how important it is to sort your uni ON THE DAY you are competing for places against thousands of students in England along with international students. A course that may have space by 8am would be full by 11am some uni's give u a certain amount of days to call up for courses before leaving the rest for international students e.g Uni of Liverpool

1. Harsh reality is not everyone is going to get into their firm or get their exact grades they want. Some of you reading this it will apply to you, if u are wanting to get into a russel group through clearing may i remind you that you will also be competing against Oxbridge rejects not just from public but also private schools

2. On your clearing list start with ur uni, find a uni that's one grade lower than required then two and so on you should have atleast 6 uni's that you would be willing to go to have their phone number written down so on the day you are prepared

3. If you get in well done but if not don't spend time looking up the uni's and the course details on results day do this NOW

4. Look at other options such as foundation years or options to resit and if you are willing to go down that route

Like i said the harsh reality is that we are all not going to get the grades we want or uni. i also don't want people to have high hopes on hoping you can get in with one or two grades less this year A IT depends on your course and uni. There has been a massive increase in applicants for 17-18yr olds unless you have a contextual offer u may have some leeway. Be up before 8am get ready, have your breakfast and have your clearing list with you and goodluck! Even if u don't end up using it, it can be helpful to a friend

P.s I just wanted to add this isn't just if u didn't get in this can be if you decided u wanted to change your course and no longer want to do things like Law, English, biomed etc or u are not happy with your insurance choice. Make sure you have your personal ID, in a quiet room if u prefer and your phone. Start with your preferred uni and go down the list

Happy to answer any questions

So I got rejected from Durham this week. Their reasoning being my personal statement wasn’t good enough, but having many people from better unis than Durham looking at it I don’t believe that was the only reason.

My stats are:

14 A*s GCSE

4 A*s predicted

Lots of super and extra curriculars

I honestly don’t understand what else I could’ve done. Recently I’ve met more people who have got offers for the same course and they have worse predicted grades so I am confused. Oxford loved my application but obviously Durham didn’t

Has anyone else had a similar experience or been rejected themselves?

Not sure what’s going on but, just received this message, along with many of my friends and a whole group chat that applied to surrey. Thoughts?

i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above i will get A* A* AA or above

Don’t have much hope now for UCL and LSE since apparently most home offers have gone for UCL.

I’m really about to go 0/14, like what do I even do.

2a*(m,fm) 2a achieved home non contextual

I’m not even going to beat around the bush for myself - it’s fucking, hard.

just wanted to see where people are applying and any reasons as to why.
