University of Nottingham A100 2023 entry Applicant and Offer Holders thread

What's the WP criteria (do you have to attend their summer school) and do WP applicants get a lower cut off score?

Thank you so much! I hope you ace your interview 😁

i think @TCL predicted it to be around 131?

Do you know Lincolns cutoff? I tried to find this year's thread and I don't think there is one made.

Sorry this is question for Lincoln, but no one is active there so I thought I’d ask here.

With the GCSE scoring system, is it any best 8 or do they have to include Maths, Bio, Chem, Eng lang?

Also does anyone have any indication of what Lincoln’s cut off was like year and what it could be this year? I think I saw 120 but I’m not sure

Definitely Eng Lang & Maths. I think it’s all on Nottingham website

I'm a bit confused because of their website info..does this mean they will accept if I resit chemistry or not? ( As it says "maximum two year period" isn't that just year 12 and year 13?)

"Your A levels must be studied over a maximum two-year period to demonstrate your ability to manage a full academic workload. A levels that have taken longer than two years to complete are not usually accepted.

We’ll also consider resits for no more than two A levels as long as you:

have completed your A levels in the last 12 months
have already obtained at least ABB with at least one A in biology/human biology or chemistry
must achieve AAA after taking your resits
*IB offer"

Yes - I just emailed them asking too, but just realised what they meant in their cryptic statement

"Your A levels must be studied over a maximum two-year period to demonstrate your ability to manage a full academic workload. A levels that have taken longer than two years to complete are not usually accepted."

This ^^^ part means a levels as in you studied for them for a more than two years, before taking the exam once after more than two years of studying.

The second quote actually addresses resits. I'm going to call them tommorow just to confirm, you should too.

Yeah the statement is really confusing ! So what you mean is they allow you to take resits but you have to take it the year after not after a two year gap? Sorry I don't really get it . And yeah I'm going to give them a call today evening too, let me know what they say and I'll do the same

Dont Worry - they are referring to the length of time you are preparing for an A level exam. Everyone usually does y12,13, then A levels. That woud be 2 years. But if someone opted to not take them at the end of y13 and study even longer for an extra third year, then they would not accept that.

Its the length of time you are studying for an a level exam.
This would not include resits becuase the 3 total years would be for 2 seperate exams

Ahhh I see , so they allow resits they just don’t allow if after year 13 you didn’t take the a level exam and decided to do the year after . But they allow it if u do a levels as normal after year 13 and not get the required grades but then resit then the next year right ? That’s my understanding so far ? Alsoo I’ll call them as well to check later today

I called today just then - they said my case of resits would be okay - achieving aab this year, resitting A* predicted. When i asked, they also said I would not be disadvantaged for interview shortlisting, and that in the case that I do get an offer the grades required would be AAA
