Official AS & A2 Results Day 2016

My friend has an offer for natural sciences at Cambridge but his offer is AAAA. No A*s lol

Did anyone here do AQA further maths FP2, FP3 or FP4? Any grade boundary predictions for those units?

Ahhh okay, I wonder what else they have to do

I'm sure if you met your insurance grades Nottingham will accept you because it's only a one grade miss

Ok I think I might know a way to find out if you got into your firm.

Because I got my accomodation sorted within the past few days, I just rang up my uni and pretended I didn't get an accomodation confirmation and asked whether they could confirm it for me. They checked my status and were able to tell me that I had confirmed accomodation. I know it's not definite, but if my accomodation is confirmed and they've got our resukts, they would have, by now, taken accomodation off those who didn't meet the requirement and they weren't accepting, right?

I did FP2 and 3 but not 4.
Hopefully FP3 is the lowest ever but idk about FP2, what do you think? Better or worse than last year?

I was looking into SOAS for clearing. For what course are you looking at?

I can't deal with the wait Did anyone else here do WJEC?

FP3 I reckon 60 A and 66 A*. I thought FP2 was worse than last year, although most people seem to think differently.

UCAS are clear that a university must not reject an applicant who has met their conditions.

That means that an Insurance can only let someone who has met their offer go into clearing AFTER their firm choice rejects them (a release into clearing can only happen if an applicant is UF with a university).

It *can* take days - in your case where you previously applied to York as one of your choices you're in a better position than otherwise.

IF you miss your firm grades
and
IF your firm reject you
and
IF your insurance either haven't decided or have you as UF on results day

(ie IF you end up committed to Manchester on results day) then once you have your results ring York and explain that you're waiting to be placed into Clearing - because you applied previously they'll be able to see your application and grades and might be able to offer some reassurance that they can hold a place.

In the mean time email Manchester's admissions department and reiterate to them ("following my phone call on Monday 15 August..." that you no longer wish to take up a place with them and ask that IF you are rejected by notts then you would like Manchester to place you into Clearing ASAP (and preferably by 8am on Thursday 18th). That way even if it hasn't happened first thing on the 18th then you've sent written instructions explaining your decision.

The big problem is that one of UCAS key "Principles of admissions" is
"10. A provider must not approach an applicant who is holding a firm or an insurance place at a provider (other than their own)."

At the moment you're asking Manchester (at the busiest time of year) to go out of their way to help you out - when as far as their concerned they might be able to see that you've met your firm offer or been accepted with dropped grades. A LOT of universities don't look at insurance applicants until Tuesday/Wednesday - because otherwise they're doing far more work than needed confirming places for students who are accepted at their firm choice.

If anyone taking AS is reading this PLEASE don't wait this late to change your mind. Swapping/changing firm and insurance choices is EASY in July and a pain in August.

Yep for chemistry, biology and maths. What subjects did you do?

Law!!!!!

Guys I achieved at gcse level: 2a*6a2b, and I've just completed year 12. I am really hoping for all A's so I can be predicted a couple of A*s at A-level.
Do you think its worth applying to Cambridge? I want to study Chemical Engineering.
