Well, I was predicted AAB with ABB from AS, absolutely bombed my exams and ended up with BBC, so I missed my firm which was at Sussex. Luckily, I phoned up Glasgow and they still took me despite them asking for ABB, I feel so blessed, haha.

Eventual grades were;
Psychology - B
Sociology - B
History - C
Law (AS) - E
Philosophy (AS) - D

Just goes to show it's not all about grades and that stuff, must have been my outstanding personal statement that swayed it for me. *sarcasm* :wink:

Philosophy and Theology :smile:

And I got an A by one UMS! If you missed out by 1 UMS though you should definitely get a remark - it should come through in time for applications. And don't mention your results in the Personal Statment - your referee can do that (or mention any really good marks) in his reference.

Okay dokay! Thanks for the advice ! And congrats once again! :smile:

Not going to lie I am seriously depressed with my results...

Biology - A
Chemistry - B
Physics - B
History - B

I also got 10 A*s at GCSE

I have been predicted AAA

Do you think I have a chance at going to Imperial, UCL, Oxford or Cambridge to do medicine? Or have my chances been ruined by my bad AS results??

Hey there! I'd seriously drop Cambridge as they look at AS UMS from your most relevant three (bio, chem, physics) and they tend to look for 90%+. I'd also reconsider applying for all three of the remaining and choose one, or at the very very most two. This is because all three require the BMAT which you sit after applying and so it's quite a risk to your application.

If I were to pick 1, I'd choose Imperial because they don't discriminate on AS results. Oxford don't really have a policy on it, but we can assume they wouldn't let in people likely to miss their A*AA offer. UCL certainly do discriminate on AS results and while your are good and you still have a chance at UCL, I think in terms of your medicine application they'd disadvantage you more than Imperial. :smile:

I'm happy to help with any other queries about applying to medicine via inbox. :smile:
