My daughter was told she had kept Castle on results day (she was a near miss , 1 ums off the A she required in Geology) but after not getting an email from the college after seven days she phoned admissions on thursday and was told she would be in Van Mildert.
Shes really disappointed as one of the reasons she choose Durham over Imperial was being in a traditional college - she would really have been happy in any of the traditional colleges but is not really looking forward to going to van Midert and is even considering deferring,
We phoned admissions ourselves and they apologized for what happened and explained how admissions to colleges worked. I suppose the method they use is the same for everyone but from what they told me I don't consider it very fair for those people who are very near misses.
