So basically, I'm getting a re-mark for my CIE A Level Physics cause I need it upgraded from a 'B' to an 'A' to meet my Imperial offer. I geniunely think I got an 'A' and I have good reasons to believe so.
Problem is, I submitted it for re-marking on the 14th but CIE won't allow me a priority re-mark cause I'm an international student and priority re-marks are only allowed for UK students. Therefore, my re-mark might not even arrive before 31st August - deadline for meeting my Imperial offer.
I'm wondering whether Imperial would be willing to extend the deadline for my offer in light of these circumtances. I emailed them on 27th but they haven't replied yet.
N.B: My offer was A*AAA for computing (with A* in Maths) and I got A*A*A*B (in Maths, FM, Chemistry, Physics). I have good reason to believe that I got an A in Physics and I would genuinely be willing to bet my life on it. Physics is the type of subject where the marking is objective and you either know the answer or you don't, so it's easy to predict what grade you got after the exam. I've been getting comfortable A grades in all my past papers and the paper I did also felt like a comfortable A. I have the blank question paper, mark scheme and grade thresholds and after going through the paper several times, I've become utterly convinced that I deserve an A. I've actually been looking for areas to knock off marks and I can't knock off enough marks to justify a 'B' - so there might have been some sort of clerical error during the marking.
EDIT: Physics was also 2 UMS off an A
