Hi It’s my first time posting on here, and i’m posting because i’m really scared of uni, and applying, my teachers have given me predicted grades of BBC which have utterly messed everything up for me, i wanted to apply to Kings and Queen mary, goldsmith and City university. I’ve had my heart set on kings for about a year now and the prediction of grades have really scared me, the course i’m applying for has an entry requirements of AAB, which, if my teachers predicted me one grade higher i would meet. My teachers will not raise the grades for me even though i can achieve them but i have some options
1 - the reason i’m applying for Kings is because i’m eligible for their contextual offers, and also mitigating circumstances as i did GCSE’s at home and i also have been diagnosed with depression since the age of 15 which may help my application, i also saw the stats for my course and 80% of people get offers since only 150 people applied for the course last year
- queen mary’s course is BBB, so only one grade off, however i only have four gcse’s and not the five i want, although i’m retaking my maths at college and i’m hoping to get a pass by next year (kings do not have any gcse requirements for my course)
i know honearly it’s not really looking good for me, but my personal statement is good (approved by my english lit teacher who was oxford educated) and my references i hope are going to be good
i did research and i saw somebody on here applied to a kings course with BBC and got on offer? this was about two years ago.. i’m really scared and this is my future so as you can tell i’m very stressed out, (pls don’t be mean about my predictions)
