    Damn, with those grades I feel sorry for you.

    Would you say your personal statement let you down? Something else?

    What subjects did you take for AS?

    Sorry about your rejection!

    Thought personal statement was strong - plenty of extra curricular stuff and a demonstrated interest in business matters. GCSE s not outstanding (1 A*, 3 As 6Bs) but I'm a late developer!

    No offense, but everyone on TSR says they have a 'strong PS'.

    They don't.

    15th November. Pretty pleased myself, such a great course by the looks of it! Wasn't a huge fan of the campus but the teaching quality made up for it.
