    Who's coming to Sussex in September, assuming they get the grades? I'm really excited. Just saying.

    Yes ! I have already got the grades (assuming the external moderators agree with the grades I've been given). I'm excited; what are you going to be studying ?

    You're so lucky! I'm taking the IB diploma, and results don't come out until July 6th! So I'm really anxious as to know whether or not I've made the conditions. Hopefully I'll be studying pure biology! How about you?

    Ahhh no way ! Well good luck , I take it Sussex is your first choice ?

    I'll be studying Anthropology & International Development... I've always thought Anthropology and Biology are linked in some obscure way...

    Just to let you guys know: Sussex was quite lenient on conditional offers last year! So even if you feel like you wont get the grades you might still get in!

    Fingers crossed. I REALLY want to go to Sussex. I feel bad asking them for a place if I don't meet my offer though ): Isn't it embarrassing?

    I'll second that. The amount of people I meet who didn't make their grades was incredible (myself included).

    That doesn't mean you shouldn't try though- just that if your offer was AAB and you got ABB don't lose faith, you're probably in.

    You dont ask them yourself, they just offer you the place anyway if you are for example one grade off. Itll be on your UCAS. No guarantees but I thought it might be some positive news.

    How about missing two points on the TOEFL Test? Are they also "quite lenient"?
