3 days and 9 hours till I get my results. That's 81 hours. Which is a square number. Which means we're another milestone closer to finding out. Oh god. Before we know it, it'll only be 64 hours!

Every passing second is a milestone!

Usually the standard application process reveals them. And I think those smart people wouldn't make a huge deal of being that smart - usually because they don't know it, until an interviewer finds out.

oo that sounds interesting, must be a nice surprise for the candidate then :cool:

OK I have a question about AQA geography. I have just done the AS exam and an A is 63% which to me is really low. Is this the same for the A2 or is it much higher?

It is kind of low at A2 - an A in the 40 mark essay was something crazy like 24 at one point!

Does anyone know why universities will sometimes reduce the offer for certain people? E.G. A course that requires AAB will be offered to someone for ABB?

Posted from TSR Mobile

They're contextualized offers which take into account the background of the applicant e.g. low-income family, poorly performing school

I had my first memorable results dream, but I never actually got my results. I dreamt I was at school at 8am on the dot, which required getting up at 6am and I was pissed off and speed walking because I wanted to be in and out. As I was making my way to the office to get my results, a big ass snake landed around my neck, and I was like... I haven't got time for this! The snake was staring me in the eyeballs, and daring me to scream. I think it may have been a python? It was yellow and white with black eyes and long and heavy. So I took it off me and placed it on the floor while still watching it, then I backed up towards the entrance of myschool only to back up against a wall of scales. It was the same snake but only like, 20ft tall and huge and wide, and I was trying not to look at it. I was still maintaining eye contact with the first snake while inching around the other snake. Then I backed up slowly until I was safe, then ran out the school without getting my results :/

Tbh, I'm now at the point where I'm hoping the colour of my skin will help get me into my firm uni, since they were bragging about diversity but when I went to the open day, me and my mum were the only black people there :eek:

. Also, my firm has like 70% girls and 30% boys, so if I was a guy then I'm basically set. I also want the fact that I'm so far doing a creative degree which I haven't seen anyone else doing, to factor into their decision, but honestly, my predicted grades were BCC and they want BBC which I know I can get, but I'm not going to stop worrying since this is a life changing period and I want to give results day the fear it deserves.

My mum is freaking me out though. I expressed my fears to her about results day, and she told me that I'm going to my firm uni, she has seen it in my future and I don't need to worry about a thing... Which of course made me wonder if she had connections I don't know about or if she's about to pull something out of her sleeve which would get me into my firm o.O

dentistry may be an option if results go insanely better than i expect but i feel i've got too much pharmaceutical experience to not go into pharmacy but i'm thinking of KCL,UCL,reading,aston and UEA :smile:

5 people in my year got unconditionals for Birmingham university this year for economics!

I think Birmingham are doing unconditionals this year to make their offer more appealing --> attracting more students to put them as firm

i mean,BBB is a little unlikely as I'm expecting higher but basically i'm planning on applying to kings college london.So far I'm on my 3rd draft on my personal statement already and it's sharp apparently.I also have a lot of experience in working in a pharmacy as I've worked in two comm. pharmacies and a hospital whilst currently working in one right now with a qualification in being a counter assistant.It's a lot but i want to know if i can at least get an interview even though my grades might not meet the requirement :smile:

I see no reason why not. I'd imagine you'll be predicted at least AAB if you show your inclination to succeed in classes - as your teachers should have no problem in predicting that you'll do even better than BBB!

So I think you should at least be interviewed, if not get a few offers from your universities.
