"I missed my grades, but I got in to uni!!!" success stories

Friend got ADE, offer was BBB. Got in on the course through clearing, same university etc and is now doing well! They are usually lenient during clearing depending on number of students/intake etc. This was for a science related degree.

Hello sorry if this has been asked before.
Got an AAB offer from Nottingham for accounting, finance and management. I think I got ABB in my A2s this year is it likely I will still be accepted?
If not is it possible to apply to another course at Nottingham this year? I don't mind what it is as long as its finance related.

Thanks,

Edit: Notts is my firm choice, accommodation done plus got alumni connection

Did you get ABB? And if so, did you get in?

Use the thread search tools, and see, but you MAY have more luck being an international than a UK student.

does anyone have any tips on where to contact to see if the uni will still accept you if you didn't achieve the grades you need? i know that ucas tells you to contact the uni on results day if you didnt meet your conditional offer, but what are you supposed to say? "please accept me!!!!"

If you have a good reason for missing the grades, you should say. (but don't make it sound like excuses). If you're calling them up have your PS with you. Say why you want that course at that uni. Also if you missed the grade but only by a few marks, make sure you let them know how much you missed it by.

Hello, yes one of the boys that attended my school 2 years ago had received lower grades than expected for his history course. I believe he had gotten one B and he was predicted A*A*A. The heads of our school got involved though and proved he had been consistent all year so maybe they let him in on that note? I am not entirely sure of how it went down but i know he is at Oxford atm

It's nice to see that it can happen! I'm scared my grades will be much lower, as I need AAA for music, but I think I'll get A*/A, A/B and anything from a B/C/D😂

I think you still have a chance, you could have actually done really well.

It's in clearing for the same grades as your offer, although universities can drop a grade i wouldn't be overly hopeful they'd drop it so much, sorry.

If you go to the bottom of the page where there are "start new discussion" and "reply" tabs in orange. Just across from them on the right hand side is a very small blue tab called "tools" click on it and put Leicester in the search all the Leicester entries will come up. I just checked and there are quite a few good news stories! Good luck!

I am an offer-holder for Lancaster to study Geography. My offer is AAB with a grade allowance if I get an A at EPQ. My honest predictions are A* (Geography) A* (EPQ) but C and C in my other subjects, boo hoo. Anyone know how flexible Lancaster are by reputation? Will a good grade in my degree choice of subject help? Where do I start if I'm rejected.. I decided against an insurance option :colondollar:
