A levels 2024

Should I resit if my results were a b, c and distinction star? And also I'm not 100 percent sure on what to do at uni but can't take a gap year either?

With those grades you can likely get into uni via Clearing. The problem, it seems, is that you're "not 100 percent sure on what to do at uni". Are you 90% sure on what to do?

Oh. Your original post implied that the decision you were struggling with was whether to resit or not.

How have you managed to secure two places? Or do you mean two informal offers? Are they both for Psychology?

OK. So the offer you have from Birmingham right now is an "informal" offer, and is only valid for a limited time. If you do nothing it will simply expire.

Before that happens, if you want to go to Birmingham, you need to decline you Aston place in UCAS Hub and then add Birmingham as your Clearing choice. Only then can Birmingham formally allocate you a place.

Do you know when the Birmingham offer expires? It's common for them to last for just 24 or 48 hours. If you have an email from them, it should be clearly stated in that.

Are both offers for Psychology? What made you apply for Birmingham at the last minute? Have you visited University of Birmingham's on an open day?
