QUB A100 2020 Entry

QUB will be very brave if they use their own system to calculate projected grades, completely ignoring the official process. They will find they are in a spot of bother if they decline people who then get official grades that would mean they met requirements and would find they potentially had a lot of appeals and potential law suits on their hands!

To be honest I think it’s just a wording issue. This thing is moving so quickly that perhaps in an attempt to reassure, statements have been posted that are open to interpretations other than what was intended. We have already seen similar things where UCAS website and twitter feed are giving conflicting information.
I’m guessing here and time will tell but I have heard nothing to suggest that the main exam board here, CCEA, will differ significantly from other exam boards. The biggest difference may be that they will have verifiable, reliable, external exam data on candidates performance in 40% of the A Level in the form of an AS mark to help in their calculations.

This is a very good point and hopefully one QUB have considered. This year Unis need to be aligned to make the best of the unfair situation in which we find ourselves. Same goes for exam boards across the UK, we shouldn’t have one using one set of data and another using something different

If possible, could someone brief me on how QUB will be confirming admissions to the offers given to international students?
I study in the Indian curriculum (CBSE board)

The exams for my subjects are over, but there are a few subjects remaining which will be rescheduled. We aren't informed of anything as of now.

Do you think QUB will be giving out less offers than normal because of all this?

I don’t think they will because I think they’ll keep the conditions the same and I know CCEA said that they’re going to try give out the same amount of A*, As etc that are given out every other year

If I were you I’d email qub directly and ask. They may not have an answer yet though. How much of your offer do you still have to complete? Is there a timetable for that to happen yet? I would think qub’s answers will depend on things like that which are out of their control.
If you already have an offer at least you would be in a good position.

Yeah I did. Does anyone know what they mean by "Within 48-72 hours you will also receive a communication from Queen’s University explaining the relevant terms and conditions", kinda confused by what terms and conditions they are talking about.

Maybe?! This is what happened in Jan... oh my word, am so nervous ! :frown:

You reckon the offer numbers will be the same? I wasn't sure how it'd work if it's all predicted grades, as they will possibly be inflated? Who knows. Hopefully it works out a fair system.
