Would university accept grades that are DDD

I want to apply for university again but only have DDD and just wondered if anyone knows of people that have gotten such low grades and been offered a place

No and even if they did, I can certainly say that they just want your loan money.

Are these A level grades?What degree are you looking to study? Many unis will let you on a Foundation year with DD.

My friend's boyfriend got in with D's but it wasn't a good university, especially for what career he wants in the future.

I would but that's two whole years of studying again and by some miracle I can get in with these grades I may as well save myself some time

Even if they did don’t you think university will be a little too hard for you? Especially since your grades are pretty low?

No as I was in uni last year and was getting 60% in ysj uni and my grades are so low as I'd an unconditional offer and just didn't care after I accepted the offer

Decide on a few subjects and search on Foundation years - seriously you can get into a decent uni. Ignore the silly comments ...

You “just didn’t care” not really the attitude to have...

This isn't always the case my friend got CDD in his A levels but got into Keele through clearing and graduated last year with a 1st in physics with astrophysics =)

I'd say your main problem is not knowing what course to do. The subject is absolutely the most important thing to decide about going to uni - much more than which university. Don't apply to anything until you've decided which subject is it you're really interested in studying for 3 years.

If you want to go to a decent uni, you probably want to look at foundation courses, some of which would probably take you.

Another question to ask yourself is why you want to try university again. If you don't know what subject you're interested in then presumably you don't have a specific career in mind, so what exactly do you want to get out of a degree?

There are some foundation courses that accept DDD but you have to do a foundation year so 1 year of learning the basics.

No but it could be the case for this particular situation.
