Clearing and university

I got quite low grades in my A-Levels BBC which an extra qualification of an EPQ with a B grade. And I really really wanted to go to the university of Edinburgh but was rejected and now I don’t know what to do at all because I really wanted to go Russel group and I don’t even know how I ended up with the grades I did when I’ve worked at As and A*s for the past two years at college.

Hi

I'm sorry today has been a disappointment, especially with your track record.

What are you planning to study. There are lots of brilliant universities. Many non RG universities offer excellent courses/ excel in specific areas.

Have you taken a look at Clearing?

Have you looked at Grade Boundaries? How far you were from AA/B?

I’ve looked at clearing and decided to go for Stirling university in Scotland I just knew I could do better and that I’m frustrated I won’t be able to go to a Russel group. And no I’ve not looked at grade boundaries, do you know how I can find them?

Grade boundaries should be on exam boards websites. Worth taking a look.

I promise you a Russell Group isn't the be all and end all - placements/ year in industry carry a lot of weight and will give you the experience that will make your application stand out when it comes to graduate opportunities.

I just looked at the boundaries and I was 8 marks off a B in law and 6 marks off a A in sociology.

Is it worth appealing? And if so how do I go about that?
