clearing nightmare x

Firstly, congrats on your grades, they might not be as good as you were hoping for but you should be proud of yourself! 🙂
Secondly, congrats on the offers you have managed to do today! Are the courses you have offers for a huge difference from your original one? Sadly uni's won't usually, if ever, wait for remarks to come through. When you have them you could try and get in touch with them to see if there is space from drop outs etc but obviously there is no guarantee for that to happen and is extremely rare.
Have you looked outside of the 'top rated' unis? As depending on the course going to a top rated uni isn't always as good as it sounds.

ok so i had an offer for a russell group to do law at AAA. i got bbb. i was between 2-5 marks off an A in all my subjects. my firm instantly rejected me, and after having called them to tell them i just applied for remarking, they essentially didnt care and said they had already given my place to someone else (bear in mind this was literally like 8.45am). so i have spent the whole day clearing. ive gotten into some v v good unis to do a course im not interested in rly but i can do a law conversion after. and most decent unis that i could have easily gotten into with my predicteds or my post remark results (bc surely i gotta go up in at least one subject) immediately have said they cannot accept me on my grades. so what do i do? do i go to a v highly rated uni and do a subject im not very passionate in, or like wait a year or resit or something someone please help me escape this hellhole dear god

If your remark means you meet the offer, the Uni WILL honour your offer.
Phone back tomorrow, ask to talk to someone who knows what they are doing.

i will do, does this mean that i have to wait until the remark is done or just tell them im remarking again? they seemed kinda adamant lmao

Which Uni is this?

birmingham

This is not usual Uni practice - and I suspect that whoever took your call was inexperienced.
Phone Brum tomorrow and be persistent.

I’m not sure I’m posting my question in the correct thread (parent here still finding way round student room). - be grateful if someone could help with my query thank you. If you’ve got into your 1st choice (and are ecstatic about that) but unhappy with one of your A level results how does it work??Do you notify the University you are getting a remark? Do not want to risk Uni offer! Scored full marks on one paper, another paper high marks, 3rd paper unsure if was disadvantaged. The school had not finished teaching the topic for one of the speaking cars options. Slightly panicked when saw out of the 2 choices they get this topic was one of the cards. Felt forced to pick the other topic which wasn’t an easy image to discuss. Frustrating because IRP near perfect too. School advise can remark but unlikely to change due to the topic/card. The mark scheme is out of 60 (120 weighted) - need 4 marks to move up - would have to lose 20 marks to move down. Was it a disadvantage that card choices included a card on a topic not finished yet in school ? Thinking ahead would not getting an A*/A impact applications for internships/work placements and Masters in the future ? Thank you

If your 'child' has a definite place then you dont need to tell the Uni about any remark - any adjustment in the grades will eventually be fed to the Uni online via UCAS. Yes, some new-grad schemes etc for Banking, Law and other very competitive careers, do use A level grades as an additional application filter, so an A* instead of an A might be worth a remark. In the longer term of course, having a degree trumps A levels every time and no-one will be the slightest bit interest in A levels for a Masters application.
