Last year my firm , Glasgow wanted BBB from me. When I opened my results letter I burst into tears :frown:

I got a ABCC (which were all resits). I had an unconditional for UWS so opened my UCAS letter expecting to see that information there BUT! Glasgow let me in! I was so happy, infact im still happy and every so often I will be sitting in uni liie "wow I cannot believe Im here!"
I think that as long as you get reasonable grades which show you are capable of uni work, and your personal statment shows how enthusiastic about the course , there is a good chance you will get in :smile:

My cousin needed AAB (or ABB...) for engenieering, though he got BBC. They let him in because he showed that he was really keen in his personal statement! And this was the University of Birmingham!

I knew someone who was in a similar situation, they dropped out in the second term. Though he may have got BCC, can't remember.

I have an offer for AAA at Birmingham for Law, but I really think I will get AAB. If I do get this on the day, is there a way to ring up and try and persuade them?

I think I have AAB/ABB. I told my parents and everyone is so dissapointed. I ****** can't believe I have failed at the last hurdle.

My offer was AAB, and I got A*A*D, and they still let me in.

A*A*D? thats crazy man.
The thing is is that I will get ABB... so I didn't really over-acheive in the subjects like you did. How did you persuade them man!

That sucks :frown:

I know that a lot of Uni's raised their entry requirements this year after people had already applied to courses. One of my choices randomly raised the offer from BCC to BBC without even mentioning it...

I chose my insurance choice because it specified that offers were made in UCAS points, but when I got an offer it was in grades :nooo:

Raising the requirement by 40 points was a bit harsh though :frown:

Ah, well. I'm sure it will all work out :smile:

For me to stand a chance I need 60/60 tomorrow, Friday and Monday on my Bio, Chem and Physics papers :/ or 100UMS or howeer they do it!

It came as a shock, CCC->BBC is a big big jump :frown:

if i get BCC i'll prayyy ! Cheers for the kind words pal
