convinced myself i've got an A* in one of my subjects after going through the mark scheme and grade boundaries so gonna be a tad shocked if i dont see it tomorrow arghh ... anyone else feel like this
Out of interest do you know why UCAS give our grades to unis we rejected and that rejected us? Also would a clearing uni reject us based on original choices?
Because UCAS systems are old and that's the way it has always been done. It's useful for equality monitoring purposes.
Universities don't hold grudges or give a **** where you previously applied. There might be concern if you've changed your mind dramatically but in that case offering a PS for the new subject (or even speaking about it well on the phone) will usually allay those concerns.
Do unis usually offer adjustment for medicine course? Eg : If I exceed my offer and have the grades needed for medicine, could I apply there through adjustment?
I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. Maybe a good whack on the head? XD
Went to the big Pets at Home near me today, now I'm regretting not looking to see if they sell any powerful tranquilizer. Why can't time just go quicker?!
I got an email from the head of sixth form telling me that I've got to attend a meeting to talk about how to progress into Year 13. I only do two a levels and BTEC business and I'm proper scared thinking that I've already failed economics.

These 14 hours are going to go so slowly then as soon as track goes live the time will go as fast as the speed of light!
If we exceed our grades (which I won't) and adjustment is available...does clicking the button for adjustment mean we can't take our firm? Like it rejects it in some way? Or does it just mean we can see the unis available for adjustment but can ultimately choose to stay with our firm?

The places are usually filled up from waiting lists/reserve lists of applicants who applied and where interviewed but didn't get an offer (but were near the top of the shortlist for offers) AND who also didn't get an offer from any of their other medicine choices. The people on those shortlists will usually have been notified before results day.
It's not unknown for applicants to get into medicine through clearing at a university that they didn't initially apply to (a number of years ago someone from TSR went to a clearing open day fro Dundee because they wanted to apply for medicine the following year - they had their grades, mentioned it at the open day and they were able to make them an offer for medicine that year) it is extremely unusual though.

No. The point of adjustment is you look for better courses without rejecting your firm. It's clearing where you have to reject a firm and insurance choice. Smh has no one researched

There's no need to be rude about it, it was just a question.

Every year hundreds of applicants click the BIG RED BUTTON on track by "mistake" (lack of self control!). If you don't phone any universities about adjustment or you don't accept any offers over the phone for adjustment then nothing will change on your application - you stay with your firm.
Like "in 2015 we made offers to x% of white students and y% of BME students on the basis of their predictions, z% of white students then achieved our standard offer and s% of BME students" - to spot any underlying bias in admissions decisions or just where admissions processes are leading to applicants being rejected (or put off accepting offers) by the admissions process - so in that example it could be that BME students are more likely to have lower predictions and so a university will amend their policy to make aspirational offers above predictions to applicants. It could look at race, gender, experience of care, disability blah blah - anything that could be causing bias in the system.
