"I missed my grades, but I got in to uni!!!" success stories

Not for me it was all sorted in a week but thought I would post anyway because I know when I was in year 13 it was helpful to see which universities were more lenient

On results day I didn't meet my conditions but was offered a change of course which I accepted. Lucky I stuck with that uni cause on the day of enrolment they said I was getting into my first choice of course anyway so I was lucky and surprised. So enjoying my course and glad I stuck with that uni as I got my chance...

From my experience I would say the most leniant top universities are Royal Holloway, Southampton, Cardiff, Newcastle

Needed AAB to get into pharmacy, ended up scoring ABC (psychology, chemistry and biology respectively) and I got into Aston!! One of the best unis for the MPharm programme.

Anybody here missed their grades from KCL (AAA) i.e AAB and still got in?

I saw they were in clearing this year. I hope they are in clearing next year aswell if
things go pear shaped :frown:

My offer from Surrey University to study Psychology was AAA but I got in with ABB!! So so happy! I'd say to firm your favourite uni regardless of your grades! You never know what might happen :biggrin:

I received an unconditional offer to study German with Dutch at the University of Sheffield with BBC despite them asking for BBB.

I think I may have been given the place since my personal statement is strong and I did my exams last summer, but still, got in with less.

Last year almost everyone I know got into their firm choice if they were only one grade under. Don't sweat it guys. Obviously try your hardest and aim for what you need, but don't worry too much if you don't make it.

They've been mentioned a few times on this thread. You can find some by using the search function at the top. Click on 'tools' (next to the page numbers either at the top or bottom) and use the 'search this thread' function for 'Brunel' and 'Essex', respectively.

well I think it was my personal statement too alongside the fact that I got a very high UMS at AS Level, I got 99/100 on one of the AS units (but then I managed to get an E in my a2 exam leaving me with a B overall lol)
