Was your third a level, maths?


Yes. Sorry I didn't mention that in my post. My A-levels were Physics, Chemistry and Maths. Maths was the one I never re-sat as I had an A in it.

I applied:
Birmingham
Sheffield
Manchester
Loughborough
Nottingham

I knew Loughborough, Sheffield and Notts would likely take me on ABB hence I applied there :smile:.


Thanks for the reply! Did you get offers from all 5 of them or only 4? :biggrin:
What exam board did you sit maths with? (I'm in a similar position)

Not sure if you've already said this but what predicted grades were you given when reapplying and did you have to put down you A2 grades?
this isn't related to your alvel resits; but rather to your uni years. how did you keep on top of studies during the years? i'm just about to start 2nd year (obtained a 2.1 in first) and i'm wondering if i should be reading ahead or anything similar and also how to balance this year right to come out with a 2.1 or first. cheers.
