Achieved grades not sent through

I've achieved the required grades for my firm. However, to put it simply my school ****ed up. They didn't sent over the AS results to the university or something along those lines.

Now the university doesn't recognise me as having achieved one of the grades.. I've called up and sent them an email, however they're refusing to accept the transcript of my AS+A2 results, saying that they're not allowed

I'm unsure of who to contact, as my school have provided me with the transcript documents but the university is unwilling to accept them.

Where do I go from here?

Tbh, it's not even my fault.

So you've got your A2 results, but the University are missing an AS result? If that's the case, all AS grades should have been on your UCAS Application before you sent it off?

Do you have your AS certificates?

Generally it's the exam boards who send results to the university. Get your school's exam officer on this ASAP.

You seem to know an awful lot about IB considering you're just an A2 student. Most people get the IB tingles from second year, haha. If you want to know about doing Finance as a masters, you can ask me, cos I just finished Msc Finance and Econometrics at QMUL.

I could never crack IB though, I would love to work in Global Markets or Emerging Markets though.

Thanks, I've just got in contact with my exam officer and he's contacting the university to sort out the results.

I achieved A*A*A but the university sees A*A as the last result is n/a as there was no AS results sent.



Yeah, I read a lot of books regarding the markets and watch quite a fair few documentaries to teach myself. I'm actually interning at an IB now and have learned quite a fair bit. Nothing majorly technical but I think it's nice to get an overview of industry before university to find out if it's something I want to pursue long term and what specific divisions I would be interested in. I'll definitely get in contact if I have any queries. Thanks!

You have ages to decide, lucky you. Most people do what you did during their undergrad. I don't think i've ever seen an A Level student interning in IB before, I didn't even think they offered that, haha.

As long as you get a 2:1 you should be fine. Try and get into a division you find interesting, because finance is very very broad.

It was rather quite unconventional how it all happened

Most definitely, I've been talking to a lot of the employees here trying to get an insight into what they do. I can now understand why IBD especially is incredibly difficult to break into . It's a shame how markets has primarily become market making as opposed to prop trading.
