&amp;quot;I missed my grades, but I got in to uni!!!&amp;quot; success stories

Original post by Gnatt27

That seems more hopeful. A good uni with what I thought was quite a popular subject in psychology

Well... I missed my grades in one subject (polish btw) and Glasgow (Russian & History course) didn't accept me. I mean I missed them by one point actually which accounted for like... 3% (i am international ) and they wrote to me that they accept only those who strictly fullfilled their offers (I had conditional one), sooo...
I mean, I am going to study in Aberdeen which is still cool, but to say I was disappointed is an understatment. One point guys. In Polish while I am going to study in Scotland. Ugh....

They tend to have high, and strict, requirements due to the cap on free places.

I'm sure you will enjoy Aberdeen instead :smile:

Thank you

They said that they had like ten applicants for one place so I completly get it, but still... It was hard at first. However, now I am mostly pleased and looking forward to September^^
Good luck to you guys!

I might get ABC this year and my offer is AAB pharmacy at uni of Birmingham ! The course is at clearing right now , does anyone know if ABC is acceptable with clearing ? Or has anyone got in with this grades. I firmed birmingham

Original post by claireestelle

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.

My brother got ABC, was rejected by York & Exeter (firm and insurance) and couldn't get a place at any Russell Group unis through clearing, ABB was their absolute minimum. He went to Aberystwyth, loved it there, got a Law degree and is now an RAF Officer. Things have a habit of working out. Best of luck :smile:

I've just finished 1st year Law.
I got into a Russel Group university which asked for 'AAA'. I got 'ABBC' (the C was in English lmao and A in Fine Art) and was still accepted, so don't lose hope guys. Goes to show that there is more to life than just grades, ALSO what you put in your Personal Statement is as important.
I've seen people who got much lower and the University still accepted them, either on results day or through clearing!
Stay Woke x

All these success stories are making me feel a little better now :smile:

I am nervous for Results Day. I don't know if anyone has had any leniency for medicine degrees and specifically uni of Birmingham or UEA? My offer is AAA. If I get grades A*AB (B in biology, but sag close to the threshold) is there any chance at all I might still be considered? Probably not as this is medicine we are talking about, but with the reforms to the A-Levels you never know how many actually will meet their offer...

Many thanks and good luck everyone :biggrin:

Does anybody know about Lancaster's leniency towards accepting students ? Has anybody had an experience whereby they missed grades but were still accepted ?
