ADVICE NEEDED AGAIN PLEASE :smile:

Hi, I've managed to get hold of my insurance offer (reading) and the reason I haven't been given an offer as of yet is because apparently they were still waiting on an A level grade which I achieve last year. I sent off a copy of my result about an hour ago. I missed the grade boundary by one, they wanted ABB and I have got ABCC. Do you guys think there's much of a chance? It's for pharmacy which is in clearing at present, I'm just starting to panic :frown:
Anyone tried edexcel resultsplusdirect? Any success?

wtf brah, something weird happened and I got 79 in S1 lmfao I got 100 in C2 though :cool:

At least you've made it brah! I've still got one year to go!


yeah man, it's all good. The funny thing is that I always drops more marks than anticipated, but at least I don't have to do A-levels anymore. They are extremely stressful.
Is anyone going to Salford?

Yeah, I've got York open day soon :smile: And I don't want to stay in my city for another year more than I have to haha :smile: I want to go somewhere new
And cool, what do you want to do your Masters in?


I need to do a masters in order to get a job so its basically decided that I stay here :frown: and I've been really interested in forensic psychology/criminology but I may end up doing something else if I find something else more interesting. I also need to think about job prospects because there aren't many at all to do with the crime stuff :frown: my absolute dream would be to be a homocide detective (I know I sound sick aha) but ill never get there so ill have to have a plan B haha.

Yeah, I got 3 As :biggrin:

Going to get a remark on a philosophy paper though because it seems suspicious,
96% in one module and then 72% in the other, really odd...


Well done dude, that's awesome!! I would've got 3 As, had it not been for the one mark I lost in Chemistry :tongue:

That does indeed seem very weird. Hope that gets pulled up to 90%+ so you get the A*! Which uni you off to? :biggrin:
HELP.


I HAVE got a place at my Uni for Law, now, they wanted AAA but I got AAB, they still let me in and my offer changed to Unconditional Offer. Now my question is, I want to do a remark for one of my subjects (English Lit) which I got the B in and I was 2 UMS away from an A. Do you think if the grade were to go down to a C for example, would they take back the offer and not accept me?

Thanks!

Same here!!! A-levels are quite random you never know quite what you'll get unless you think you've got 100, for example I only guessed my FP1 and C2 scores correctly. And the fact that sometimes you have to do a 3rd subject you just hate makes a-levels all the more stressful ahah. At least at uni its 1 subject all the way

It's possible they'll still accept you since you just missed out but of course there is no guarantee and you just need to wait to see what they say.
Does anyone know how long a standard remark for a2 geography aqa might take?

There are quite a few exceptional places in Durham aren't there, like University College (in a castle :O)?! :biggrin: Yeah it's a hill college... :smile:)

But I do plan to retake maths next year whilst at university.
