At AS I got BCC and Loughborough offered me ABB to do Politics, I couldnt believe it. I then got ABD on results day and they let me in.

I know someone whose offer was BBB and they got in with BDE :O
I was off my firm by two grades and they still wanted me for a foundation year, but I chose to go to my insurance, which accepted me even though I was one grade off. whoop :smile:
My offer was ABB had BCC and got in... i was SO angry at my grades because i worked so freaking hard! :/
SO happy that my first choice Uni accepted me though, would like to think that they saw something that showed that i am hard working and a determined student! :smile:

It's true what they say, exams CAN go wrong even if you do try really hard... that was evident for me Thursday!

I got accepted into the University of York with BBC :smile: Originally needed ABB to do Sociology but they let me in! Still can't really believe it! Although i've now decided to take a year out to work :smile:
So many people I know missed their offers by a massive margin and are still going, lucky people. Makes me almost wish I hadn't got so stressed over it and worked so hard :tongue:

Yup. Similar thing happened to me. Except, now I feel quite inferior when I hear a large number on the forums getting in to my uni with string of A*... Like, am I worthy ?!

properly disappointed in my results as the offer was my predicted grades but, never mind things don't always turn out perfectly.

Same as me... I needed AAB and got ABC but still got into my insurance :smile:. Thank God for those vacancies.

Lol... sarcasm much?
My boyfriend was offered BBB, he got CDE and still got into his Uni. I got ABB, when I was offered AAB and also got in.:confused:

Maybe it was a bad year for A-levels on both of our two courses...
