Missed Conditional Offer Durham

My offer from Durham was IB 37 with 666 at HL, and I got IB 40 with 765 at HL. I was wondering how lenient they are with results and if anyone in a similar situation got in or was rejected?

call them today and find out exactly when you'll get a decision, durham in the past we've heard of them leaving people awhile without a decision, hopefully that wont be the case for you.
They will usually not make a decision until A level results are out - they need to see how many A level candidates did or did not make their offer before they know how many places they have left. No harm in giving them a ring and asking though
Did they accept you anyway in the end because this has exactly happened to me this year and i’m really nervous if I will still have a place at durham or not? They told me I have to wait for a-level results but i’m still scared they will reject me

The results landscape was very different 3 years ago so their outcome is not likely to be any guide I’m afraid. If they’ve popped you on hold it means you are in with a chance otherwise they’ve have rejected you straight away.

Did they accept you with those grades? Worried I might be in same situation

Unfortunately, knowing this information won’t be of much use for you as it depends year on year depending on rates of offers met etc.
