Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Coronavirus and uni

I am so stressed I won't get into my firm as my mock results wouldn't have got me in and now those are being used to calculate our a levels!!! Will the govt/unis be generous??

UCAS have said universities are going to be 'flexible' but I don't know how flexible they mean. Probably 1 grade, hopefully 2, 3 may be too much :s-smilie:

Most universities have in previous years accepted people with dropped grades usually 1 or 2. Some have accepted more and some not at all. I dont suspect anything will differ much this year and I suspect most will be more lenient. However it might differ dependant on your firm university. Unfortunately nobody really knows for certain.

Surely they will factor in other assessments?

Don’t worry I think only a minority of people would actually have got in with their mock results. Hopefully teachers will take this into account when assigning us grades and unis will be more lenient
