Leeds A100 Applicants 2014

Did anyone else do the OCR Level 2 National award in ICT. I was told this equated to 2 GCSE's. I got a distinction which they said was a A or A star. Will this be marked manually,

Any grad on here, what was your score like?

Mines was 10 and 7 ...pretty cool

REAPPLICANTS with non-cashed-in-AS

There are a lot of messages here saying that there is no need to worry, because it will manually adjusted when it comes to entering in.

I can confirm, following emails yesterday with Pat and contact my tutor has made - they will not be changing my decile.

They don't see it as their mistake to fix.

They believe that I am in the correct decile because I didn't declare my AS despite having my A2's.

My tutor has had the same conversation and not managed to budge them at all.

So all this stuff about "they're going to change it," - well no. Unless you have been told that in writing please don't say that, because it's simply not true, and it's aggravating to see someone dangling hope in the air, when I'd rather accept it for what it is and cut my losses.

Yh but don't forget they havn't taken into account your degree. You'll probably move up the dectiles maybe even to first depending on your degree. They said in the email probably fourth decile and above will have PS's read and you'd average this and more as academic scoring holds more worth than the aptitude in the scoring system. Secondly they said a low ukcat score can be compensated by a high academic score, so I'd say your still in a decent position.

Yes but even my school grades? I mean 10 for my school grades...they are not that bad, I got AAAAC.

My degree is a 2.1 in Master of pharmacy, so what do you reckon that would be...do many grads apply with a 1st?

When did you email? Pat Harkin said this morning that they would not respond to any emails or be picking up the phone. I think it's also unlikely they will respond to any emails sent yesterday unless it's about missing information.

Your application will be checked over manually and any discrepancies will be picked up then. They won't let the computer just reject you. Try and stay calm for now and wait for the manual ranking.

I got an email yesterday from Pat Harkin saying he would manually adjust the settings to make sure the rankings were correct, so i think they should have everyone sorted out quite soon so i'm a lot less stressed now!

Well, I just checked my feedback again. GCSE Double Science still 'not accepted' and academic ranking still rock bottom at 8. I really wish they would hurry up with the manual; I have no idea how far up my degree will push me.

Academic: 8, Aptitude: 1

I got double science still not accepted but I have GCSE biology and chemistry at a grade B or above. They have given me a 1 for academics however.

I have A*A* for GCSE Double Award Science.

I take it you're not a graduate? I don't understand how AAA at A level puts me in decile 8 (I think I did declare my ASs in the form of module grades, but not as separate qualifications, which would not have made sense) but I will wait until they rank my degree before I panic.

Did you get a first in your degree?

Everybody will have AAA achieved or predicted atleast so A-levels will have no baring on the decile. They'll have done it on gcse's I'd think.

Not sure about your second question I doubt many graduates apply, I would think your masters would help alot though.

I am shocked. They have lied to us, as over the phone I was told to expect full marks for academics. Can you please show us all your sent emails and their replies? This is just wrong, there are so many excellent applicants that will be ignored if this is the case. This is ridiculous and unfair, WE WERE NOT TOLD TO DECLARE AS RESULTS ON OUR UCAS FORMS.

Got a response from Pat. I asked why at Open Day we have been told that archived AAA will score full marks and it's totally contradict their actual scoring shown in my feedback. Here what he wrote_
'I think you may have misunderstood what was said at Open Day. The academic score is made up of GCSE/AS and A-level components. With your existing A-levels, you will receive the maximum score for the A-level section, but your GCSE/AS score will still be based on your GCSE/AS performance. I assure you we have not gone against our published Admissions Policy which is available on our website, both as a PDF booklet and a PowerPoint presentation'.
