You choose accomodation as soon as you've firmed itand then it's confirmed after a levels. In assuming there has been emails about the documents you need to upload I don't know if anyone else can shed light on that?

If I’ve achieved 6A*s and 4As at GCSE AAB at A level, predicted A*AA and achieved AAB in my mocks what are we thinking the chances are? We’re probably going to be left in limbo until August good luck to you all 👍

I feel like we literally don't know. When schools, exam boards and unis make their statements (after the government announces its strategy) then you can get a better idea of how it will work, then use the link to ask Cardiff how you'll do. That's what I'm planning on doing

What is the UK's plan and what could happen next?

Alistair Jarvis, chief executive of Universities UK, said if an appropriate way to assess students could be found - such as a combination of teacher assessments and previous assignments - then awards could be granted this summer.

Yesterday, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "This would allow students to get their grades and the university admission process to go ahead this summer."

Asked whether students who have already been offered a place at university could have it as an unconditional offer, he said: "That is possible, that would be a good option to immediately remove the uncertainty for students."

I’ve heard quite a few unis doing that I’m just not sure if that would ever be the case with medicine because it’s so competitive...

You could be right! It's all up in the air, nothing definitive yet. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I’m worried about it myself, I firmed QUB and insured Cardiff. As far as I’m aware QUB are still going to hold me to A*AA, not sure about Cardiff but I am quite stressed I won’t meet either.

Hi there, I can appreciate you must be concerned and can't imagine how stressful this must be. The med school are working on a plan to make it as fair as possible, but they have to ensure that their decisions are online with central guidance as well as government guidance, so unfortunately there will be a wait until all decisions are made. I know it doesn't help not knowing but just want to reassure they are doing everything they can and you will hear as soon as everything is set in stone

My son is predicted 3 A*, got 3 A*s in his mocks and has had high scores in all assessments over the two years so hoping he will be ok. However he goes to a comprehensive school sixth form and hoping that won’t be a disadvantage when it comes to Ofqual moderating.....I only got concerned when a lad we know who is at the local grammar said they will all be ok as grammar schools are renowned for high results. I hope Ofqual will be fair in that respect.....My son has firmed Cardiff. He is a bit worried incase uni’s have to retract offers but sure that won’t happen.
