Contextual offers

Oh tell me about it, it’s a very flawed system. I haven’t really looked into it a lot, and i’ve relied on college courses for my entry requirements, so it’s never really affected me, but I remember when saas (scottish funding) applications were happening, I would know people who lived with one parent who didn’t make a lot and got bursaries and a higher loan, but their other parent would buy them things, pay for their car, has since bought them flats, things like that. People from my school got contextual entry requirements because they lived in another part of town, but I couldn’t despite going to the same school. I feel your frustration

Contextual offers dont just mean where you live and how much your parents earn. There are more and many other factors

Duh, but from our experiences, it is clearly a very big variable on why they get it.

Legit, my friend rented his house specifically in a **** area to get access to sheffield reduced grade, when his house is getting renovated.

The other factors don't matter in my basis, since I have a mate whose net income is less than 20k. But is not accessible for contextual.

whatever you say

From the orginal post it seemed like you were angry because someone is getting chances and opportunities. good for them. stay bitter. it seemed like you were upset because they got hooked and you didnt. tough luck. you can cry about it all you want.

Whilst I do agree it is unfair that he was just renting it, you could call it sheer luck. work smarter not harder.

I know its unfair but that orginal post is inconsiderate to the people who really need it. PS, blaming your council on that part made no sense whtsover, because unis dont only look at the place where you live but they also look at the percentage of progression of how many people from that area persue uni. So even if you are in a build up area, very rich and elegant, but not many people from that area go to uni, you can be eligible.

I didnt actually reply to your post i replied to mothdoll threa " we lived in differnt parts in town but we went to the same school" well thats the whole point of it?

I feel like a lot of people are misinformed and are led to believe that everyone that gets it is because of where they live. WHICH IS STILL A VALID FACTOR.

Unfortuantely you cant do anything about the fact that place where you live is a factor is contextual offers. Also, a lot of unis have a few bullet points which you have to meet before being considered not just 1.

I drive an Audi, i live in a decent house, im quite well of, yet im eligible for contextual offer. Dont judge someone just because they have money they may have have other factors included
