I wish I was going to QMUL. GUTTED.

I got BCC. I was predicted ABB - missed out on my offer due to personal issues, so I have a place at Hull. But I was so determined to get a place at QMUL, I am actually really gutted. I thought about retaking, but I don't know if I could go through A level pain again, it was just too much! Plus, I don't think I could increase the grades I even got without a teacher! Lol.

Guess I am just venting, haha.

Yep, you are venting. Either retake, reapply or go to Hull; you seem aware of your options. You could still get into a London uni with those grades or maybe you could do a foundation year at QMUL?

Which course was that? I was asked for ABB but got D*BCC though I was still given a place for Physics.

You'll probably be happy at Hull and really apart from the location it's still going to be all the same stuff anyway; there'll still be the student life and the course will be the same (if you applied for the same course) so unless there's something particular about QMUL I don't think you'll be too bothered once you're at Hull.

BTW isn't it a bit late to be deciding this stuff!?

No college would take me on as a retake! They said my grades are good enough for Uni. I like Hull's course, but I had my heart set on living in London.. Oh well. I can't re-apply, grades aren't good enough, and the other London unis didn't have as good course for English and History.

Have you checked if it's possible to do a foundation year at another uni (such as Hull) and then transfer to QMUL for the full course or even if it's possible to do the foundation year at QMUL?

To be fair, I haven't even got my accommodation! I am still waiting on it, so if I don't get it, I will have to defer a year. It's just got me thinking!

It was English and History joint honours. They said I could come in if I had ABC, but I got BCC.

I hope so! I just wish I was in London! It's closer to home too, so that helps.

Same here!! Had my heart set on QM, missed my ABB offer and have a place at City. Still gutted i didn't get in

I know how it feels! What did you get, mind me asking? Did you call them up and ask to let you in still? Mine said I needed 300, rather than the 340, but I still didn't get that, haha.

There's always private accommodation, QMUL wouldn't give me accommodation because it was my insurance choice (yet the give some to those going through clearing, wtf?) so I'm paying £189 per week for somewhere that's not even super close to the uni (at least I might get a good walk a couple of times per day). Maybe you should look at this as an opportunity anyway, I wanted to be far away from home to actually become independent (microwave meals are about the best I can do regarding food).

As long as you stick with it and make the most of it then you'll love it anyway.

Overall I finished with BBCac, rang them up they said nothing they can do for me unless I have ABB ahwell, hopefully I'll be happy a at City.

if the course is the same everywhere and youre doing it just for the sake of london i wouldnt bother im on a retake gap year and its a really bad feeling and 1 year behind in your life too.

You did well! I was offered a space at Essex. But I turned it down because the course didn't look as good! I am not even sure if this is the course for me. My god.

I live in Birmingham, so London would only be two hours, whereas Hull is 3-6 depending on the sea tide. Haha. My mum's pregnant, so I wanted to see my little sister here and there. Ah well.

How did you find your accommodation? Oooooh, that's expensive! Mine is no more than £130 for an ensuite! I still need to find out what's happening with my place! I wanted to live on campus, just because it's safer, especially as I have never been to the city! I can't cook either, guess I will lose weight.

I am so undecided, I am having doubts with the course too!
