I was shooting for straight A*s a few months before exams, but my confidence has slipped so much I'll be happy scraping my offer now :lol:

So you won't be the only one...

I'll be in the same boat too, I'm sure plenty will 😉

Yeah S2 and M2 were fine for me but I would be very happy to just get an A in FM and A*s in my other two subjects tbh 😁


For me I depend on it in FM and Physics because chemistry is borderline as hell.

Someone in this article got rejected with A*A*A*A*A from Camb (and their insurance)
https://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/aug/13/my-results-spelled-out-end-10-stories-of-how-to-cope-with-disappointing-a-level-results

Guess they were a mathmo, missed STEP

Looking at those grades makes my head hurt

To me this seems like one of those cases where the applicant is bright but isn't actually good enough to focus all their effort on one subject to get really good at it so just spends lots of time padding it out with random A levels. I mean it reminds me of those occasional stories of 12 year olds who do a gcse or a level and then people jump to the conclusion that they are much better than most other A level candidates whereas they are just ahead compared to the average 14 year old for instance. Not to say 5 good A levels isn't impressive, just that the Guardian probably doesn't understand the difference between that and having 4 A levels and 3 STEP grades like the average maths applicant :smile:

What is better to say in a personal statement:
Triggered my intrigue or Sparked up my interest?

Makes no difference, just go with what sounds nicer to your ears...
