hii!!

I'm an a level student & I also applied last week and got an interview at Teesside coming up ( 4th December) I'm soo nervous haha

I also applied for Bristol, Portsmouth, Essex and Leeds but got rejected from Essex and Bristol and got offered biology at Portsmouth which I don't think I'm gonna take lol.

What's your background like? are you also an a level student? xxx

I actually did my alevels about 6 years ago and did really bad! Because I thought partying would be more fun - so much regret!! But I’ve been a dental nurse/ clinical director since I finished and then a rep for a dental company. I got rejected from Bristol because they said the biology Alevel at B or above was mandatory.

Congrats on the interview!! Good luck! :smile:
I’m really hoping to get on the HE diploma in Cardiff but I thinks it’s going to be so popular.
I think I will have to do an access course or redo alevels this year instead :frown:

I applied about a month ago and literally a month later I’ve heard back from Portsmouth and Essex for interviews

Hey all! I applied just at the end of October to Bristol, Essex, Cardiff, Manchester and Newcastle. So far I’ve received an interview for Essex and my application to Bristol has also been placed on hold still waiting on the others. This is my 2nd year applying 🤞🏼

Ahh, I don’t know how they can make the decisions so quickly when the UCAS deadline hasn’t even closed yet

It'd be because I didnt meet the A level requirements, I just put it as my 5th choice to fill the gap

Oh, yeah I only did four choices because Cardiff told me that because I didn’t have GCSE English language at grade B I would be unsuccessful, even with my experience and other qualifications

Hey 😊 that was for the dental hygiene diploma, I didn’t ask about therapy but I think it also says on there that you need a grade b
