Land Economy Application Thread 2022 Entry

Pretty sure I'm going to miss my offer at this stage. Just bombed my Maths exam, like proper... Basically relying on the grade boundaries being really low and hopefully being able to scrape an A???? Could have smashed my other 2 subject papers, probably looking at a mid A in those. I'm hoping that my college accepts with 1 grade miss or something. I don't know. I'm so done.

Hi hope your feeling better about your grades. I also feel pretty gross i think like you ive done well enough on two of my subjects but messed up the applied further maths paper nor awfully but enough to make me question my existence. Its frustrating how i cant tell how many marks ive lost and it feels like im also going to have to pray for lower grade boundaries and pray my 1st paper was well enough. i genuinely don't know how im meant to distract myself for 2 months. Even more frustrating how it was my very last paper and i felt i was doing well enough before it. But yeah im in the same boat as you but hopefully will still see you come September. I got an email from my college about a near miss thing where if your a few marks they'll probably still let you in (was the kind of gist) but you have to send your actual UMS score but who knows and im sure each college is different. Good luck anyways

Heya! From experience you might think that you did terrible during the exam but when you receive your results back you might have done much better than expected and (cross fingers) you got A*! Remember that there are other stages to Land Economy application, not only grades! Perhaps you might not have gotten the grade for your a-levels but you could have a really good personal statement, admissions test score and interview so the university will likely have no choice but to give you an offer! If you need any help with you application to land economy, I would recommend checking out Oxbridge Mind website!

Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi, I'm probably not going to reapply. I got A*A*B (offer A*AA) and was 4 marks off an A in Maths despite having extenuating circumstances, been placed in the Summer Pool, if I get in then great, if not then I'll just take my insurance.

Heya!
I'm sorry to hear that You could potentially look into getting the maths paper remarked and hopefully get those extra few marks to get an A! Sometimes examiners can make mistakes when marking a-levels so a lot of people apply to get them remarked and get some marks up which can make a big difference. I had a friend who got a C in business a-levels, got it remarked and jumped from C to A. Have a talk with your teacher and see if you should go for it or not!

In case you don't want to get it remarked then fingers crossed you get through the Summer pool You still did amazing with A*s and should be proud so don't let it get you down!

Good luck!
