St Andrews Hopefuls 2017

I like how you guys have similar looking grades bet you guys go really good schools...my schools average a level grade is D at AS got 5 As and on contextual offers list 2017...so thts considered for applications to...i just think the differnce between some schools in certain areas is so large and then now more grammar schools

Where is this "contextual offers list 2017"??

Should i send it to you

This is the 2016 one for some reason can download 2017 one

Where is this "contextual offers list 2017"??

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that MathsMPhys is refering to the Bristol contextual offer school list?

My school isn't that bad, but it's not great; and it's on that list.

It bases it on the average Alevel grade per candidate and actually every uni has the list...they use it to compare applicants..they have a list of schools and the schools average grades and stuff so its actually more detailed..doesnt mean all of them lower reqs just means if your schools avg grades a D and you're way above that they consider it more and are more likely to give offer

Oh okay cool, apologies.
Do you know if your school is specfically on the St Andrews list?
How do you find out?
I know that different unis use different criteria

I'm definitely applying even though I don't have straight A's.
Current grades achieved are AABB at higher, and I'm studying an additional higher and advanced higher history this year.
I am meeting minimum requirements currently so I'm happy but I don't know if AAAB is the requirement from S5, they said for international relations it is. -_-
But I am applying to history now so it's not the same, given how competitive international relations is I am not sure if it is different for history since it's not written in the prospectus that it's really competitive.
Scottish history can't be that competitive?
( sorry, I don't know which history course i am applying for, Scottish is just an example. )

From what I can see all the single honors history courses are AAAB, but I don't know if that's from end of S5 just what's on the website

Same, I read the prospectus and it said AAAB but at a UCAS higher education exhibition, I was told it was from S5 for international relations. So I'll have to email admissions. They say they consider all aspects of the application anyway so I'm still gonna try. It's not fair to accept A-levels that are from final year and not highers. -___- Even Oxford accept resits.
