The Student Room Group

missed offer conditions by <1%

im a foundation student and i happened to be able to secure an offer from aston into first year for getting 80% overall in all modules.

Context:
One Module relied heavily on group work (80% of that module) and my group decided to not do anything even though they kept promising to do it by a date and when i asked for an update they haven't done anything with the work due and eventually do it late, so i soloed the last bits in the last week of uni because they were taking too long to complete the work and i wanted a good grade so that i can reach 80%. IN ALL MODULES EXCEPT ONE i got 80%+ but in this one module i got 64% ;- ;


now the overall percentage for all modules is 79.4%, will i still get in?

Obviously, I can’t give you any guarantees, but in my opinion you still have a very good chance of getting in granted the course isn’t too oversubscribed or competitive.

Call the university admissions team up and explain the situation. Good luck! :smile:

P.S. It’s worth seeing if you can get a couple of module exams remarked. If you can push the grade up to 79.5%, your final transcript may end up showing a rounded up graded of 80% (mine did). Check with your course coordinator!

Hey did you manage to sort this out? I’m in a similar situation right now and I’m worried I won’t get in just because of one assignment :frown:

If your course was in clearing last year it is likely you will still get a place if it goes into clearing this year.

That’s really good! My offer is 60% in all modules, but I messed one exam up :frown: so now I’m on 50% in that module. My course is really competitive though, it’s Optometry, so I don’t know if I’ll get in.. I emailed them and they said they might take grades below 60% in August, but only after seeing how other applicants have done on results day so fingers crossed!
