Name: James
Grades Achieved: A2: AAB (History, Eng Lit, Computing). Why the B? I taught myself, thanks to the inability of my school to arrange lessons (They couldn't timetable History and computing at the same time). Oh, and an A in General Studies, despite having deliberately done no preparation for it whatsoever, just to see how good I am at blagging exams.
Predicted Grades: AAA
Offer: AAA
Offer Made: Yes, narrowly. First in the queue to get the results, saw the B, minor panic. Spent half an hour trying to get through to UCAS (Track obviously not working, and put on hold then cut off twice.) Then twenty minutes trying to get through to the admissions office at Clare. Finally heard the news I wanted: we've decided to accept you anyway. I can honestly say that between 11:00 and 11:50 today was THE most stressful time of my life... I definately do NOT want to have to go through that again...
College: Clare
Subject: V100 history. Woo!
