Poor Results information and discussion for A level students.

Scroll to see replies

Hi everyone, I've applied to University of Bristol, Birmingham and Oxford Brookes to do Law(LLB)...but my A-levels were sooooooo bad!!
Both myself and tutors think there may have been an error in my results since I'm an straight A student.
I have currently 10 CSEC passes (A-C) grades and my predicted grades for A-level were A* and A.
I did 5 subjects and my results were as follows..
Caribbean Studies- Grade B
Law- Grade C
Economics and Management of Business- Grade D
and Maths - an awful fail! lol ( i wasn't surprised!) but the others... :frown:

I dream school is Bristol but i know they will not be accepting these grades...what are my options? Plz i'm an international student so i desperately need advice from you guys!!

P.s i don't want to resit :frown:

...is there anything i can do to still get entrance into Bristol?

Well you could phone them and beg...but it's a long shot.. But then again I believe in long shots anyway :smile:

Sorry to hear about your results btw, always painful when you don't achieve what you really set out to

If I was reapplying to universities who are asking for AAA in my gap year, even if i had only achieved AAB in my overall a levels, would they be likely to consider me?

I would obviously resit a module or two.
+ I'd be doing other stuff such as working, travelling, and getting law work experience in my gap year.

Thats me! I think I'm 98% sure I won't be going this year. I'm totally lost and obviously desperate for some company as it sucks feeling like such a loser! :frown:

Anyone else out there? Helloooo?

This is a bad thread. Quite negative. But still! We could offer suggestions and advice to each other and comfort each other,right? :smile:

Yeah, I definitely don't think I've met my requirements.
But oh well, I'll just have to cross my fingers for clearing!

Its just that my insurance doesn't even need that great grades! So if I don't get into that, I wouldn't stand a chance at clearing! :frown:

Not cake. Tesco has half price Ben and Jerry's. Safe to say I'm well stocked up, should things go badly tomorrow.

Try to get some sleep. Get some rest/an early night, and you can deal with whatever's thrown at you in the morning.

Think positive - no matter what the outcome tomorrow, you'll get through it.
