Okay, I was worried that you were jumping into a gap year but I think you want time to settle, heal and consider your options more fully and I do think this is wise. I just wanted to present you with those options so you were making an informed choice. :yep:
Best of luck and if you want to ask us more questions in the future, we are always here

Hiya, just wanted to update you as you've been so much help to me. I was successful in my regrade and durham have offered me a place for 2024 start! I'm thinking of accepting but very nervous as its starting so soon but so happy to have been given the offer/grades I felt I deserved 🙂

Extremely pleased for you, well done.

Talk to family, see what they think about doing the gap year. Check to see if Durham can defer the offer or not (they may not)

Congrats, what a relief. Please post when you get your college confirmed, my son is in the same boat and has been awaiting news from Durham for a week now.

thought this may be the case, wait after wait it feels like, will keep you updated once I hear from them
Is anyone who was offered a place at Durham for 2024 following a regrade still waiting to hear from the university? I thought my son was just waiting for his college allocation but it turns out he has had an acceptance via UCAS (over a week ago now) but has not actually heard anything directly from Durham at all yet.
my son received an email from Durham on A level day asking him to accept, which he did, we have an email trail but nothing else. No log in, no course info and no college. So I think your son is in exactly the same situation. Not the most relaxing time, I'd hoped be slightly less stressful after they got their green tick on UCAs.

Which college did he get, if that’s ok to ask? Seen a lot of Stevenson allocation today. Fingers crossed we hear tomorrow.
