Hi, I currently stand at 2 rejections for my first pick courses which were foundation maths at hallam and manchester met(full)
I was rather taken aback that i was rejected onto a foundation course, i'm mature student and never did a levels (so its not a case of having failed or done wrong ones) I did an apprenticeship in accountancy and have NVQ level 3 and 4.
But hallam said they only consider the NVQ on their finance degrees, so as far as they were concerned i had no Level 3 qualification.
This seems a bit unfair to me because they don't require a set subject or grade (with it being the foundation year thats kind of the selling point ha) so to me it seems that its just to check you have a set learning ability, so the fact i surpass that in a different subject i feel should be satisfactory.
i know you'll probably think, well its their discretion so no point saying its unfair ha.
but would it be worth me ringing up and talking to someone in maths dept, my qual is in accounts like i said so its loosely related, not like i did a drama qual and now want to do maths. and begging for reconsideration?
I have been offered a place at bradford college for an accountancy degree, but i don't really want to go, i just applied cos i had 3 more choices and was thinking it was all to pot anyway so wanted to know if theyd accept me, i'm not sure if the unconditional offer from them is year 1 or 2, as i applied for entry 2 but put in notes, entry level 1 also.
is it worth giving hallam yet another call (when i called for clarification on decission i just spoke to general admissions, so she didn't care one iota what my nvq was)
thanks for any help, feelin very dejected
