Missing Oxbridge offer?
Ok so who is in the same **** situation as me?
Personally, i am re-marking 3 things as they seem WAY off from my predicted/my own feeling after the test/ and generally just absurd.
But in the worst case scenario, what are the chnces they take u in anyways? And when do the let you know?
I am so so so scred

Yea i have looked through and theres not too much info. Generally people missed 1-2 points and complained but never said whether they got in in the end. I am missing more than 2 atm 
But im still relying on the fact there was a mistake. This is actually so devastating

But im still relying on the fact there was a mistake. This is actually so devastating metaphysical what was your offer and what did you get?
how far off are you?
Yea they messed up my Biology and EE grades so i reckon i have about 39-40 wich means i will be missing my offer by 2-3 points. My head colled Cambridge and they were very nice- said they wont even look at my stuff until the remarks come back in August and that I am not to worry.
But **** knows, really, im parying for them remarks.
Also exams are a matter of luck when it come to it, and tbh getting 42 is a bit of a lottery at times.

...but i had no offer for Oxford...didn't apply though...but i'd like to send LSE my results...just so it would be: IN THEIR STUPID FACE
it's their loss anyway...
they gave you an obscurely high offer though...i hope they didn't plan to cut you out...hope your remarks will be acknowledged...

I dont think they planned it 
and hope they wont. Checked their statistics for this year- very few offers, fewer than usual. So hopefully they didnt have that in mind 
well done Nomasaya!
(no im not being bitter)

Metaphysical - firstly, I'm really sorry to hear this. The IB is known to mess up big time. Just pray that your re-marks will be positive.
Secondly, I'll be very honest with you. Cambridge is known to take candidates they really like even if they miss their offers. What did you get on the LNAT? If it's very good, then that will help a great deal.
It's very hard for anyone to tell you whether you get the place as it all depends on your college.
All the best and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Anil.

My conditional was on 39 points with a 7 in mathematics and 6s in physics and chemistry...
However I got 40 with a 7 in physics and 6s in maths and chemistry...
My school called me in the morning telling me to contact the uni myself, cause apparently it's the boldness that counts. A very nice girl at the admissions who seemed to know nothing of IB commented that with a deferred entry they DO expect people to meet the requirements. In the end I decided to email the tutors (who are on holidays) asking to still consider me a candidate with a CC to the admissions.
I'm going to spend my gap year studying Aerospace in Holland, so my math will be of a high standard. However, last year we got a new teacher who was so lame that he let down the whole class... half of the people just failed. i'm trying to see if the school would admit it, write a letter to Oxford maybe it'll help. so messed up.... i'm just as devastated... and actually i have exceeded the offer. dunno, i was told (but not by the admissions) that the tutors are on holidays, but what i'm going to do is to email them directly with a CC to the admissions office.
so good luck, metaphysical! let the force be with us!

They replied to me and I GOT ACCEPTED TO OXFORD!
...the only problem is that i'm still.... feeling a bit down with this stupid 6 on my diploma for math.

fibiso,

siddhartha,
Mansfield. What's yours?

Wow Congrats
it would be great if all you people could put your experience in that remarks thread of mine, so we could have a bank of people who have gone through the remarking, its such a lot of money would be good if everyone had a place to look each year and work out how others did in comparison to work out whether remarking was worth the risk
Latin127
can the grade go down?
Yep. (Edit: oh, apparently not. I stand corrected.)
Though I think he was talking more about the financial risk. Costs like £40 per paper in some cases. (Edit: well, not necessarily accurate, because I'm talking from an A-level perspective.
But something like that.)Related discussions
