Bad results, not sure what next

Aw

commiserations. Really sorry to hear that.

Best to have a thorough discussion with people at your school and they will help you consider options. Have you considered a foundation course or other options?

I would contact your school now (if they're still open) and ask them about resitting if they say no search for local colleges that will let you to resit.

I study Psychology, Maths, Biology & Chemistry. In A/S I got BCDE respectively and carried onto A2 dropping Psychology (stupid choice). So I got my results today and I absolutely failed them ending in DEU. Obviously it is not good enough to even go through clearing and im not even sure if my school is going to allow me to resit A2.

What do I do?

DEb is 150 UCAS points - it may be enough for Clearing somewhere, possibly with a foundation year :smile:

What were you hoping to study?

I've contacted the school through email and waiting for a reply, since their telephone system is down for some reason. I wanted to do Pharmacy and I know I have the ability to do it but the linear change just caught me off guard. I wouldnt mind doing a foundation degree but im not sure on what steps to take.

The U doesn't count, but your b at AS does. I know Kingston had Pharmaceutical Science with Foundation for 160 points earlier today - might be worth giving them a shout?

It's outskirts of London so not a typical London feel to the uni...

One alternative might be Sunderland - they have a BioPharmaceutical Sciences programme for which the requirements are:

"You will need an A level (or equivalent) in chemistry and three passes at GCSE grade C, including Maths and English, or the equivalent."

Dont worry about it too much, maybe talk to your form teacher and the careers advisor, they should help you. Dont be disheartened, getting bad results is not the end of the world, some people dont even do a-levels and get a job. :smile:

I see, but the U was in chemistry so what would that mean? Thanks Lola

That would make getting into any kind of pharm course a little more tricky...
