I think they could potentially turn you away if you no longer meet the criteria of your offer

I have, but no reply as I applied for a normal remark not a priority one. I wouldn't expect anything for a while, say 2 -4 weeks.

Do you guys reckon it would be worth me remarking Biology Unit 5? I got 56/60, 90/100 and 115/140 in Unit 5 which is 63 raw marks. I am 9 ums off an A*, which I would gain if I went up 4 raw marks in Unit 5, which is a long shot but I know the essay can be subjective. I'm mainly worried about dropping to a B overall, I got 534 ums overall so I can afford to lose 54 ums and still keep my A, but as the boundaries are so tight in Unit 5, if I was to lose 16 raw marks I'd get an E in the exam and go down to a B overall. Is it worth it?

Lol one of my friends only dropped 15 UMS in the whole A level. 10 in AS and 5 at A2, she's a joke and she also rejected her place for medicine 😂😂. I'm here bare happy scrapping an A in biology lol (489/600)

You are not going to lose 16 raw marks/54 UMS.

On the other hand, my priority remark is still not posted yet!

They rejected me in Biomed cos I didnt gain an A, but if I did do you think they would let me back on CONSIDERING biomed wasnt even listed on clearing by them, unless somehow my place offered privately away to someone
OH GOD PLS

My remarks meant I increased by 13 UMS in total but sadly not enough for an A* :frown:

I still can't believe I did so badly in the biology exams when I consistently got full UMS on biology past papers and the exams last year but whatever...

It's kind of ridiculous that I've got 90% over Biology A Level but still not an A* lol :tongue:
