Just been declined for single Philosophy, reason being:
Unfortunately you were in competition with applicants who
were stronger academically. Our asking rates are high, but
every year the proportion of applicants already holding, or
predicted to obtain grades higher than our asking rates
increases. As a result this means some highly qualified
candidates have not been offered admission to the University
as we simply do not have enough places.
I'm just a bit angry, I feel if my sixth form had of backed me and gave me a few perks i.e prefect position, school council, head boy, peer mentoring placement or put me on a summer school like other students I could have got in.
Good luck to all other applicants, Sheffield it is.
