The "I'm scared I'm going to miss my offer" thread

Don't know what to say, have an offer for Cam too and am stressing about getting the grades (albeit my offer isn't as specific as yours): I really really hope you get in!!!

Okay i'm leaving to actually do some work, really isn't the time for procrastination :s

For a start, do you maybe think that Cambridge gave you the MEI offer just because it was harder?
FYI, the only reason MEI UMS conversions are so high is that so many people score well on the exams. If the 90% mark was 67/72, that'll mean that many, many people did better than 67/72. Pick a hard module or get a hard paper - the UMS would be no where near as bad. Thankfully the mark schemes are quite nice - and if you only made small mistakes on the NM paper, you'll have only been losing about 2 marks a mistake. The marking is quite nice in that respect. I assume that you were somewhat limited to D1 and NM by the modules you'd already done for your A level maths - it's too bad, since D1 is generally seen as being a joke paper.

Seems to have a harsh tone.
To pick one example, the A2 module differential equations is considered a very tough paper, and the UMS mark for 90% remains almost unattainably high seemingly regardless of how difficult or easy each paper is. I don't feel that the offer given is necessarily that much harder for it though, it was still well in my capabilities, and I tried to make it quite clear in my original comment that I blame myself just as much, for panicking in the exam and doing much much worse than I did in any past paper.
I really hope you're right about the marking though, if I'm in danger of missing the offer I'll only be missing it by a couple UMS, so any helpful nudge in the right direction will hopefully see me safe.

My firm wants ABB, but I'm pretty sure I've missed this. My insurance wants 300pts. I don't want to go to my insurance, but I know that I won't get into my firm. I also don't really want to go through Clearing. I'm so unsure and confused right now, can I just reject my insurance if I do get the grade and then re-do year 13, as doing a Gap Year is just not something I can do.

English Lit is the only one I'm really worried about, I'm really not going to enjoy waiting this summer :/

Need ABB but im thinking im going t get ABC or even ACC wit A in physics, and CC in Biology and maths. Its for a Physics Bsc course at sussex, do you think that course and uni will be lenient enough for me to get in? I will probably be about 5-10 ums of each C grade if i get what i said... aaaaaahh

With all of this said i might even get my grades
