congrats!! :biggrin:
Good luck today everyone
I missed my offer too and didn't get in. AAA offer and I got AAB, phoned them and they said the course was full unless my remark turns up positive. I hope!

This happened to me last year - they may not reserve your place but if your remarks go up you'll get a deferred entry and be put on a waiting list for this year (however most people I know who went on the waiting list then got in that year) so good luck, I hope all goes well! :biggrin:
I didn't get in :/ Shoud I still (they've changed my UCAS status) call them and ask if they could give a deferral for next year/conditional offer if I get my grades up to the requested level? (I'm a EU student)

I got in!!!!!! in JB to study business :biggrin:
Got in for Chemistry, quite shocked as some of my exams were dreadful (And they were, U in mechanics, d in a couple of units), but I still managed to pull it off...

I got
A* Mathematics
A Further Maths
A Chemistry
C Physics
I got in for Law, at JB:h:
Rejected. One mark under the a star boundary in two separate subjects, achieved AAA, wouldn't even hold my place for a remark
When do the phone lines stay open until? I'm approaching the 2 hour mark on waiting...:grumble:

The original landline handset I was on ran out of battery because I was on hold for an hour and a half.
Hi, can someone add me to the durham theology group chat on facebook please if it exists?

There's nothing to lose in asking, as long as your happy to wait a year. Just keep them informed. Best of luck with everything.:smile:

That sucks, that's wrong. This is why a levels are so frustrating- let's be honest, how can anyone who got one more mark than you in the respective subjects and came out with an a* claim to be a better student. Best of luck, wherever you end up.
