How lenient is Portsmouth?

I was just wondering if anyone got into Ports having missed their conditional offer. Need some comfort before results day

I'm looking for someone to answer that question also . I've heard that Portsmouth is quite lenient however this was in 2009 and I'm pretty certain that 5 years later things would have changed .

In 2011 I did not fulfil my conditional offer and they changed it to unconditional on results day.

If you aren't sure, call them. They are seriously lovely and helpful. I applied super duper late last year (as in, mid-september late) and they were really nice and helpful.

But how far away were you from it?

My course asks for 280 UCAS points and this is the average UCAS points last year according to which? uni (credible site)

Also, someone on Facebook told me that a lecturer told her than they will always accept 260 UCAS points. :smile:

I need to know this as well. I pretty much fail Biology after my unit 4 today so I kind of need the peace of mind right now.

I saw someone on Facebook who got into Politics with DUDE.

Damn... politics too? I understand if you miss your conditions by 1 grade but surely that's a bit much- particularly for a subject like politics:O

I'm hoping to get in to study Law with Criminology. They're asking for 300 points and I'm so paranoid I won't get it. Especially for a subject like law, I don't know how lenient they can be 🙁

LOOL just enjoy your summer, you spent months of studying and then actually sat the exams. Just forget about it.

I applied for Biomed which needs BBB but I don't know if I did anywhere near as well as that, especially after those Biology exams ;-;

Your course is in clearing so I would be confident that if you missed your conditions you still have a fighting chance of a place! The uni know that by not giving you your place, they are giving it to someone who didn't originally want to go to portsmouth, and who too likely missed the conditions.

Good luck- try not to stress too much xD ahaha
