Hey! I will hopefully be going to Durham this year to study business Management! For anyone who is wishhing to apply for the course but feel like they've done bad this year not all hope is lost!
My GCSE's: AAAAABBBBB
AS levels: BBCDU
Predicted grades: ABC
Course requirement: AAB
Unfortunately my teachers refused to give higher me predicted grades which is fair enough but I knew I could work hard this year to get AAB so regardless of that I took a gamble and I applied for Four universities that required AAB and one ABB, these where Durham, Birmingham, Manchaster, York and Sheffield and within three weeks of sending my application I got five offers even though my teachers said it was highly unlikely that was going to get any due to my grades. My main thing that cut it out for me was my Personal statement which was 80% work experience and thus showed my passion for business e.g I have had a part time job in retail for the past two years, did Young Enterprice, work experience in the Eversheds law firm worked in a head office for a week, EPQ etc etc. So main thing for me is that your personal statememnt plays a biggggggggg part in the application process especially if you don't have good grades, but you still have to get the grades obviously and I hopefully will with the ampunt of work and effort and resits that I did! Hope this helped!
