I'll take the same approach in response as you did.
1) Would you like to send a screenshot of your offer and send it as an attachment in your next post? I'm sure it'll be a comfort to other politics applicants.
2) Oh Durham give contextual offers? On the website it states that "
Durham does not make lower offers on the basis of this contextual or any other information and this will continue to be the case." Here's the link in case you wanted to educate yourself further on the process: https://www.dur.ac.uk/undergraduate/apply/faqs/?faqno=2036
Like I said I go to a state sixth form college and again also have to "work my ass off" (I corrected the 'of' to 'off' presuming that is what you meant)
3) So not only do you know me but you're also an admissions tutor for Durham... well done! Am I correct in saying that after you receive an offer you then have to resubmit college choices after already stating this when you apply? Surely, a university like Durham would already be able to tell college popularity from the initial campus code on our ucas applications. Not to mention the fact that this is not mentioned in the slightest in the acknowledgement email we receive when you ACTUALLY apply.
4) Finally, all the best with your offer from Oxford! What subjects do you take if you don't mind me asking? I accept your apology and I hope you do know that your whole application is looked at not just predicted grades? Maybe just maybe I am "worthy" because I had a good personal statement?
The last point you raised made me laugh so hard that I struggled to make a response without dying of laughter. There's no "main exam board" just one that is more popular if anything. Hey maybe you could start a thread to find out which exam board people use for Government & Politics (the full title in case you didn't realise). There are many sources I could use to inform you that all AS exams regardless of subject are out of 200 UMS with the exception of Maths and Sciences. Have a look on the edexcel specification for Government & Politics in case you are unsure or this link here:

This has been fun but lets try to keep this academically focused and helpful for all members. Oh, and I highlighted all your flaws in your argument in case you wanted improvements on how to troll in the future
