I have a burning question to ask.
I just received an email from my insurance choice university informing me that they have received my official A-level results and that I have not met the conditions of the course I had originally applied for. However, they say they are ready to offer me a changed course offer. The problem is my Track says I have been firmly accept by my firm choice university. I have not yet collected my results but do I have anything to worry about?
Thanks in advance :smile:

If track is saying you've been firmly accepted to your firm choice then you're in at your firm choice and you have nothing to worry about :smile:

i'm in limbo. missed my firm and now insurance by a grade and they haven't decided. rang them and they say they dont know when they will decide...

Well that's pretty rude.

I'd ring them back - ask for the name and job title of the person you speak to and ask them again when you can expect a decision by.

Is there anywhere in clearing that takes your fancy? If so mention that to them and see if it forces them into a decision.

There is NO HARM in forcing their hand - it's better to force them into rejecting you now than to let them hang on to you for days/weeks and then reject you anyway.

They've had the results for days - the only reason to hang on to you now is because they're hedging their bets over getting someone with better grades in clearing which is downright disgraceful behaviour from a university you've shown commitment to for months.

The know NOW whether they're likely to take you or not...they're only delaying because they're trying to play games.

Send maths off for a remark, I would.

I'm really tempted to do that. But my parents aren't too keen on the idea because of the fee and want me to move on. ):

Can somebody answer my question about ums marks?

I got 100 ums on one side of my exam, and on the other I got 77, which amounts to 177 ums, which is an A.

But I've been wondering whether the raw marks on that 100 ums make a difference. For example, 80% marks is 100 ums, 100% marks is 100 ums. Do those extra marks go to waste? Or might they amount to something in a2?

The raw marks don't make a difference as far as I know, all that matters is the UMS score (if you apply somewhere that looks at UMS score, that is!)
Raw marks won't make a difference to your A2 grades.
