Missed offers

I keep making posts about this but here I go,
I got A*AA in AS and 776666655 in GCSE, I am eligible for contextual offers. I got ABB UCL and KCL offers for English and only got rejected from Cambridge but on my feed back form it said I was a strong candidate and was close.

I finished my A-Level exams and I am sure that I messed up, I got unlucky and everything I was weak on came up and even in my best subjects I panicked and wrote messily. I am not overreacting I am sure that I missed the marks as I didn't hit the necessary AOs/Criteria for my grades and I know I did bad. I probably got BCC or BCD (English Biology History) and I don't know what to do now. Assuming these are my real grades (although I appreciate it please don't talk about never being sure until results day because I know I did bad) what can I do to get into UCL/KCL next year?

This is my plan :
Start studying NOW until next year, gurantee myself I get A*A*A* and possibly do an extra a level for language for 4A*, maybe do an EPQ too

What are my chances of getting in? What more can I do? Since I'm studying now maybe I can pick up an extra A-Level or something since I'm so desperate.

I must get into KCL and UCL as for personal reasons need to study from home and refuse to do a degree if it is not a top uni since English is a vocational subject. Plus if I don't I'll forever live with regret of what could have so easily been if I worked a little bit harder. I don't think I have mitigating circumstances expect being poor haha.

Any advice is appreciated, my life depends on it.

hi,
i’d honestly say wait until your results because you may have got the grades you needed. please just enjoy your summer and wait until august
good luck

Hi, just to clarify, do you mean you want to resit your A-levels?

If your a level results are good I’m sure you will get in! Don’t dwell on rejections from any university: in fact recently a student who got rejected from Cambridge was accepted at MIT and Harvard!

Thank you but I know I didn't get it. In fact I'm 100% sure. I literally did my absolute best on my English mock last term, got 28/30 and still got a B because I didn't use specific quotes or something on the half of the paper. This time I used basically none. I need like 95% to get an A and I didn't even use a proper structure for both of my essays and had weak points, the essays I got Bs for bit more AOs.

In History I can sit a test with 100% content knowledge and get a C because I used a bad structure. This time round not only did I mess up my structure, didn't answer the question properly and didn't use proper evidence which *immediately* leads to Level 1/2 grade regardless.

Biology I knew I got many questions wrongs right after as I looked them up.

There is no way I got ABB and whenever I ask for advice so I can do something about it or have valid and actual substantial hope I get told to wait for my inevitable doom. I know I did bad and I need advice. Thank you for attempting to comfort me though I appreciate it.

And you do keep posting this same thing. Sadly, no of us can tell you that you'll be able to get in. There is no magic shortcut here.

The healthy thing to do is to finish these A levels, do something distractingly fun over the summer and deal with what will be in August.

Wdym 95% for an A in English, what hellspawn of a board do you do?

You're right but I just cant stay happy if I know there isn't something I can do to make up for this, it's driving me insane with regret and I will take it to my grave if it doesn't work out. I can't help but want to cling onto something for hope.

lowkey in the same situation, just finished my history exam and i'm sure i messed up, i have an offer AAB for law at a good uni but i think i'll get ABB, i'm just so upset bc i don't want to wait a whole year to go to uni bc i've fallen in love with the uni and just want to go there.

Sorry I mean like A*, I can get 27/30 for one paper and get a B it's insane. I do OCR
