Hey! Yes sort of, I applied for MML and my offer was A*AA and I got A*AA but the A* wasn't in the languages I want to do which was specified in my offer. So I've been pooled and find out my fate tonight eeek. Fingers crossed for you!

Best of luck :biggrin:

I got A*AA and a B in my EPQ, so I'm in! Going to study Education with MML (French) at Homerton - taking a gap year first though, so starting in 2015 :biggrin:

ASNC at Selwyn! I was convinced I hasn't got in. I had been pooled in winter and was so relieved to make my offer. I'd been predicted A*AA in politics, history and geography respectively but ended up with the A* in history instead which to be honest is a good thing for ASNC, especially when history was my ninth worst GCSE XD

Same. But I haven't been told explicitly I'm in the pool, track just hasn't updated :eek:

I think you should call them and find out (if you haven't already) - have you emailed in your grades?? Good luck :smile:

Hi, I was in the same situation two years ago. If you haven't been contacted, assume you are in the pool. The admissions tutors spend the whole day in a room looking through folders. I wasn't emailed until 9:30pm even though I was then told I was the first folder to be taken back out once they had confirmed my UMS marks were high enough. As difficult as this is, try to do something to take your mind off it and be patient - there's nothing you can do now but wait!

Ahhh well I hope all goes well! My college told me I was in the pool but I read somewhere that ALL applicants who achieve A*AA regardless of specific requirements are pooled so stay positive :biggrin:

Hey, I called Selwyn today and they said they'd guarantee my place until the remarks come back. My offer is still valid on Track, feel free to message me too if you want? I am SO darn angry and scared now, I really want to study here!!!

After posting this I got my offer through on track confirmed? so I assume that means they don't care about the 2 ums, my teachers are still appealing it for me but yay!
Thanks lovely!

If it's confirmed on track, that means you've got in!
