I didnt get into uni and clearing is a nightmare

I thought I would ask I got BBD and missed both my offers to study Biology. I have been in clearing for two days and tried every respectable uni all saying no because of my D in chemistry. Even Plymouth rejected me. However I got a place at Brighton Uni I know its not the best what do you think I should do? The school arnt that keen on me retaking chemistry as I failed A2 very badly as I dont understand it at all I was 20ums off an E in both exams and retook all of my AS and did far worse in all of them. I dont know what to do and im starting to panic all my friends are going to uni.

Hi polarbear123,

Have you considered looking further in the field of biology, for example biomedical science? If so please let me know I may be able to help you!

hey well its about the course not the uni really but you if you think you can do better than a D then retake but honestly you said you did worse when retaking so I would just go straight to Uni. Brighton's a nice place and uni ranking shouldnt really hinder your decision that much

I think you should consider how much chemistry will be involved in the university course, if you don't understand it now then chances are you'll feel even more lost at university. Do you know what career you're interested in? (It's okay if you don't )

hey yep I have seem to have the same problem with the grades I have also tried things like cellular and molecular biology with no luck

Yeah the school said they can help with that and it would be better to sort out my learning before uni. I honestly have no idea maybe biology teacher or whatever I am interested in after the course

Hi polarbear123,

Have you considered a Science Foundtion Year? It's a popular route into university for people who didn't get the grades they wanted. It's definitely worth looking in to If you give our clearing hotline a call they will be able to advise you, the number is 08448429599*.

I hope this helps!

Best of luck,

Yeah indeed. What subjects did you do? Biology, chemistry and..?

I think maybe with a whole year I could do if I had some sort of help maybe a tutor as I am not doing three subjects and will have a lot of free time. Like I could get into brighton next year if it doesnt work out but I dont know whether its worth trying I know it shouldnt be about the uni too much but its quite important to me and they dont even do my favourite sport there
